I would like to quote some of the major incidents in indian judicial history
Free India’s Constitution provides legal equality to women and prohibits any discrimination by the state on the basis of gender (Articles 14 and 15). The Special Marriage Act, 1954 permits inter-caste and interreligious marriage.
The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 abolished bigamy and permitted dissolution of marriage on specific grounds. The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 made the daughter equal co-heir with son, thus abolishing discrimination with respect to inheritance laws.
The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act enhanced the status of women in matters of adoption. The Maternity Benefits Act, 1961 was amended in April 1976 to cover women who do not fall within the purview of the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948. The Directive Principles of State Policy provide for equal pay for equal work for both men and women. The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 provided for equal remuneration to men and women workers and prevention of discrimination against women in matters of employment.
The Factories (Amendment) Act, 1976 provided for establishment of creches where 30 women (as against 50 previously) are employed. The Criminal Law (Amendment) bills passed by Parliament in 1983 amended the Indian Penal Code, Indian Evidence Act and Criminal Procedure Code to make laws against rape and other such crimes against women much more stringent and also to add a new provision in the Indian Penal Code to make cruelty against a woman by her husband and other relations punishable.
The Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act in Women and Girls Act, 1956 was amended and retitled as Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1986 to cover all persons male or female who are sexually exploited for commercial purposes. The Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 as amended in 1986 made the giving and taking of dowry an offence. In 1987, an Act was passed making the glorification of sati a cognisable offence.
Through these laws and amendments We cant say nothing has changed in our society.
