Gender Equality in India.

Nature has divided human race between men and women, but their status and role in society are determined by our culture. No culture or society treats it's women as like men. In patriarchal societies women have always experienced injustice, tyranny and inequality. According to the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights, all the persons irrespective of their gender, sex, religion, ethnicity, caste they have been given equal rights and freedom. All humans are born free. No man is superior or inferior towards one another.

In patriarchal societies, women's role is limited to the household work. There are not allowed to study more and go to work. They do not have rights to marry and divorce as per their wish. Their role is just to get married, have children, and take care of the family. Even today some Indian men don't want to marry very educated and working women. Till early 2005 Hindu women had no equal rights in the ancestral property of the parents.

According to the Article 14 of the constitution, there is equality before law and equal protection of law. As per article 15 of the constitution, discrimination on the ground of religion, caste, ethnicity, language, age, gender is provided. As per article 21 of the constitution, everyone has a right to dignified life.

Women are also powerful and capable as like men. So it would not be good to ask women just to stay at home and do household work. Society and other people should not take anyone's natural rights given them by nature. Everyone has equal rights, freedom and right to justice.

"Indian Marriages" in the context of dowry related violence

Vismaya Nair. The recent death of 24-year-old medical student Vismaya Nair in the Indian state of Kerala has sparked widespread outrage and renewed discussions over dowries and domestic violence in India. Despite their illegality, dowries are largely seen as a source of pride and status among families on both sides. The dark underbelly of the practice includes discrimination against girls, femicide, abuse and endless violence against brides in the country. Vismaya’s death renewed the clamour for a permanent solution that would end the harmful practice. Dowry In India Unravelling the murky origins of dowry in India is not easy . Dowries are essentially a payment made by the bride’s family in cash or goods in exchange for marriage. Women are expected to relinquish their rights to inheritance or property in exchange for a dowry, which many women are forced to accept because of fami...

Does caste change after marriage?

* A woman’s caste does not change after marriage. Caste is determined by birth. By default , the father’s caste is the child's caste. Marriage does not alter the caste of someone. So, OBC lady cannot become a SC just because she married a SC male. However, the children of them will belong to SC as the father is a SC. However, there are certain exception in case child of such wedlock ( father UR but mother Reserved) who is raised in reserved community and separated or absence of father presence, he may be treated reserved as per mother caste.
