Abstract

‘Women’s right’ are the rights and entitlement that are claimed for gender equality and empowerment, these rights are varied in different culture. India's regime of distinct personal laws, which discriminate women in their personal life in various ways due to religion based personal laws and this discrimination on the base of religion, is injurious to public morals. To uplift women’s condition and for equality, it is imperative to push for uniform principles of gender justice and individual freedom, that can be achieved by making gender just set of family law. This paper is an attempt to understand vulnerability in available social and family structure for women and also reflecting the social condition of women in India.
