Women Rights in India
The study shall briefly analyse the track of women rights under the various family laws in force in India, post and pre independence. The article will encompass a summary of Hindu, Christian & Mohammedan laws which are advantageous & disadvantageous to women & their rights including: property, succession , unilateral divorce & pay of alimony. It will also highlight the rights of daughters & widows where inheritance is concerned. The conclusion will detail the possibility of UCC serving greater rights to women. I chose this topic, as I strongly believe that gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is not just a goal in itself, but a key to sustainable development, economic growth and peace and security .Protecting women’s rights makes the world a better place.
