WOMEN AND CRIMINAL LAW: A NASCENT GROWTH
Downloads
Abstract
Man is a social animal and lives in a society. To ensure harmonious functioning of society, certain rules and regulations are required and it is also necessary that these rules be obeyed. THESE SET OF RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE CALLED AS LAWS. These laws are merely a culmination of great influences and remain in a constant state of flux. Laws in India relating to women have therefore been developed over a period of time as a result of public hysteria for uplifting the status of women in the society. Although India today is fast emerging as global power still the struggle of women to live with dignity continues. This is because of the constant physical and emotional abuse which is inflicted on her. Inequalities in laws effect both men and women alike but women are lagging behind in many fields. Therefore, this paper tries to analyze the position of women oriented criminal laws and to what extent they have been successful in dealing with the disadvantageous position of females after marriage in comparison to males due to the stagnant position of laws which have not changed since time immemorial.
