Women's Rights
Even 60 years after independence the woman of India are still exploited and abused Inspite of
constitutional guarantees and new laws. The man considers himself superior to woman and her master,
The orthodox system of the family is set in his favour exclusively. Within the confines of domestic walls
man feets free to act like a merciless male chauvinist. The birth of female child is considered a curse in
most parts of our country. Without any thought the female foetus is murdered. At practical level law
falls to protect a woman's human rights. The situation is worse in rural areas. There the woman slave for
men considering it their fate and a duty ordered by God Almighty. The rural women have no idea about
their legal rights and privileges.
It is not the literate women's fate only. Even educated woman of urban areas why is gainfully
employed does not use her rights for fear of antagonizing her husband. They meekly give in to the mate
arrogance to avoid domestic discord and physical abuse. The males of the family decide how to spend
the earning of the working female. From the very childhood the girls are mentally conditioned to let the
mates do the thinking for her and accept their decisions.
Thus, the mate dominance continues to hold away at the cost of the rights and the privileges of women.
This factor has created gross imbalance in the Indian families. Now a days the families do not mind
sisters, daughters and wives seeking gainful employment as long as they don't exercise their right to
spend their earning as they like. A working woman brings home tidy salary to add to the family income
but she cannot hope of any help from her husband in doing domestic chores. She has to toll alone like a
stave. For husbands doing household work is below their dignity and as far as the women are concerned
it is their natural duty. The doubly burdened women when protest or complain the men ignore them or
react violently which results in the growing tensions in relationships. The resultant quarrels and
maladjustments in the family badly affect the children psychologically.
