Rights
Women in India are not well aware of their rights, and this continues to be a problem in society. Keep swiping to know about those rights for women. Tap to read!
Right to maintenance
Maintenance comprises the needs of existence such as food, shelter, clothing, education, health care, and so on. Even after divorce, a woman is entitled to it.
Right to equal pay
We now have gender-neutral legislation. A male and a female are both entitled to the same compensation for doing the same job.
Right to dignity and decency
Every woman has the right to a dignified life free of fear, compulsion, violence, and discrimination. Women's dignity and modesty are highly valued.
Right against domestic violence
Domestic violence encompasses not only physical abuse, but also emotional, sexual, and economic abuse against women.
Right against dowry
The Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 criminalises the giving and taking of dowry by the bride or bridegroom or their parents at, before, or after the marriage.
Right to free legal aid
You have the right to free legal assistance from legal services authorities recognised under the Legal Assistance Authorities Act, 1987.
Conclusion
Every Indian woman should be aware of these fundamental rights of women. A person who understands the law does not require a weapon.
