Indian Legal System as An Source of Women Empowerment

Abstract

India is a developing country but until and unless Women don’t get their status and respect India can’t be developed. Due to Gender Inequality Women are left behind. Violence against Women in India refers to physical or sexual violence committed against Indian women, typically by a man. Any Kind of Violence Is Illegal and to bear the Violence is illegal too. It is an issue regarding economic development, educational, human rights and heath. Its impact ranges from immediate to long-term multiple physicals, sexual and mental consequences for women and girls, including death. Violence Against Women Is Continuing Since. The Ancient Period Mahabharata Cities the Violence against Dropati. Indian Society Has Always Revered Women. Many Female Deities Goddess Saraswati, Laxmi, Durga, Kali etc are worshipped across the Whole India. On other side, the system of patriarchal system is continuing since rig veda. Women suffer this and decides to remain silent because she is afraid of getting discriminated in the society where she can’t speak or stood up against the crime she is been suffering. She is afraid because of the customs laid by our society. In such situations our patriarchal society will blame the women but they will never feel the situation that she is going through. The Position Of Women In Indian Constitution Is Very Wide. Our Constitution has empowered women equally under Article 14. Over the past two decades, violence against women had came to be understood as a form of discrimination and violation of women’s human rights. Violence against women, and the obligation to enact laws to address violence against women, is now the subject matter of a comprehensive legal and policy framework at the international and regional levels. The constitution guarantees that all citizens of India (including women) have the fundamental right to live in peace and harmony. Violence against women is a global issue that has an impact on our society. Such outbreaks of violence have a devastating effect on the lives of victims, their families and also communities. The worth of a civilization can be judged by the place given to women in society. One of several factors that justify the greatness of India’s ancient culture is the honorable place granted to women. They were deprived of their rights to equality with men. There is no denying the fact that women in India had not made considerable progress in the last seventy-five years of India Independence but yet they have to struggle against many handicaps and social evils in the male-dominated society. In this advanced era of feminism when it’s an agenda stresses on key concepts of individuality and embracing women hood, the prevailing scenes of violence against women threaten to topple the pillars on which the entire notion of feminism is based. Wives(Women) are considered as a better half and religious partners of their husband which means the half part of a man belongs to his wife. Apart from these there are some peoples who still exists while saying a girl child is being a burden towards the family so it’s better to abort the baby it is because there is lack of knowledge that in today’s world a girl can do everything just she needs support and love to care for her effort to overcome.
