INTRODUCTION
Gender (or sex) inequality is the common act of civil rights that takes on multiple forms including sexual embarrassment, unequal pay for women and inequality even in pregnancy. While the Indian Constitution grants men and women equality and offers fair protection in order to boost women’s status in society, most women are still unable to benefit from these rights and opportunities that are provided to them.
While the Indian Constitution grants men and women the same privileges and benefits and parallel recruitment for enhancing the role of women in the social community, given the fact that the rights and opportunities provided to women by the constitution remain far from achieving this advantage for the full number of women. The anti-female mentality and injustice of society force women to put down their chances of thriving into the conventional value structure, just as an undue household duty. In India, there are few other factors in the present period, including lowest rates, joblessness and deprivation among women because of the difference in society between men and women
MARRIAGE POVERTY
The children who have to leave and travel with their parents is an integral part of Indian cultural culture and a significant source of inequality. In an effort to improve this situation, the structure of Indian society itself will need to be modified. This is also why girls are considered to be an investment (as opposed to sons) which doesn’t make money and leads to questions like foeticides, education or less education.
A variety of issues such as dowry, subjugation and the lack of job rights emerge from the difficulties of living with the family of the married woman. Personality and equations of power also have a role to play. When married, after marriage a woman is required to obey a certain dress code while a man may continue dressing as he wishes. If the woman has to lose her husband, she is forced to abandon her coding and a new, more demanding dress code and lifestyle which she is used to at the present.
In the form of wedding costs, a child receives less than 5% of the property of his parents. In fact, much is spent on pomp and display. The only protection a daughter has is always the gold ornaments of her parents and in-laws. In wedding costs, the majority of the money on behalf of the daughter has frozen away. The son(s) subsequently inherited a large part of the property of his kin. While Indian laws provide for daughters’ property rights, it often does not apply.
So if a girl is confronted by abuse in the house of her in-laws, she often has no place. It, together with Avec Les traditions, means that she has no financial protection whatsoever ‘leaving her husband’s house only after her death.’
