Gender Inequality: Inequalities Faced by Women in India and Legal Provisions

Abstract

Over an extremely extensive stretch of time, Gender Inequality and contrasts existed in practically all societies of the world and thus the issue with respect to gender inequality in India is certainly not an ongoing advancement. There’s a huge difference between men and women and the society makes sure to maintain this difference by discriminating women against men. Women are not being treated equally as men and are being deprived of the liberties that a man exercises but not a woman. The conceptions that are stereotypically attributed to females are passed on age by age in light of the fact that these over a range of time became accepted practices and have not been addressed. This paper doesn't fret about Feminist Jurisprudence merely; rather it attempts to evaluate the status of a female in the light of Indian Constitution and how the Constitution as an establishment can play an instrumental job in getting gender equality in India and whether the objective has been at all accomplished. At the point when we examine the different provisions of the Constitution it appears to be obvious that the Rights ensured to women are at par with the Rights of men. Along with that, women enjoy some special provisions too in some cases. Here emerges the subject of gender equality which I have dealt in my paper. I put accentuation on the Preamble of the Constitution, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental obligations and certain legal proclamations. This paper investigates the laws identifying with gender equality in India.
