Abstract
India has taken a big step in the year 2005 by amending the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, giving women the equal right of inheritance as their male siblings. However, there remains a loophole where women are still marginalized when it comes to the division of property; the division of matrimonial property after separation. It is observed that divorce leads to women facing several hurdles starting from the legal system to their natal homes; the conditions are not suitable for women to have a good life after divorce due to loopholes in the legal system in India. Due to these issues faced by women, they are forced to stay loyal to their exploitative marriage for the rest of their lives. The introduction of the Marriage Law Amendment Bill of 2010, which eases the laws on divorce, brings further problems for women as they subjected to a rough legal system that upholds social morality over constitutional morality.
