In what way the position of women is different in pre and post independent India?
Answers
"Post independence, a number of laws were implemented for the betterment of women as compared to the pre-independence era.
The implementation of these laws led to the removal of discrimination against women which was highly ignored in the pre-independence era.
Some examples are given below which will clearly establish the difference in the position of women in the pre-independence and post-independence era:
• Women can file for divorce and maintenance from their husband
• Women have been given child- adopting right
• A woman can act like the guardian of her minor child if required
• Women can inherit property of their father just like sons do
• Demanding dowry has been considered as a punishable offence
• Equal pay scale at work place of both male and female workers.
