Call for Chapters for the book- Status of women and Law- Submit by 30th July 2021

“यस्य पूज्यंते नार्यस्तु तत्र रमन्ते देवता:। अर्थात्, जहां नारी की पूजा होती है, वहां देवता निवास करते हैं।“

India is country where name of Goddess comes before the name of God like Parvati Shiv or Radha Krishna but the actual position of women in our society is very dreadful.

From equal status with men in ancient times, through the demeaning status in the medieval period, to the promotion and guarantee of equal rights by supreme law of the land i.e., Constitution of India in the modern era the position of women in Indian society has been subjected to many changes.

In present “आत्म निर्भर भारत” even when the women are holding the post of President, Prime Minister, Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Leader of the Opposition, Finance Minister, CEO of MNC’s, etc. they are still being exposed to the numerous social evils.

According to a global study conducted by Thomson Reuters, India is the “fourth most dangerous country” in the world for women. Keeping all these things in mind the Editor’s believe that a comprehensive book on the laws relating to women wherein position of women in India, offences related to women and various legislation framed to protect her rights could be discussed in detail.
