Women and Personal Law

Abstract

Equality of opportunity for advancement and positive discrimination in favour of women may ensure social justice and human right to women.  It would liberate her from traditional oppressive cultural forces and help her in improving self-esteem and self-image.

            The need of the hour is to create an environment which ensures dignity to women.  She should emerge from powerlessness and comforts of dependency and face the challenges of autonomy offered to her through human rights.  This requires change in attitude of society and cultural transformation.
