legal rights in India for women

In the last post we discussed the safeguards present in the constitution of India for women in the country. Apart from a strong constitutional framework to achieve women empowerment, the government of the country from time to time frame the laws necessary to fight against the ills present in society that are hampering the development of the women. The law makers of the country has always considered the aspirations of the people living in the time. When constitution was framed, then too, it was all aspirations and goals of the society at that time which provided the foundation for the constitution, and later on with the passage of time as the society evolved and the people's aspiration changed, those change were dealt perfectly by bringing in various laws. Government has framed different laws to protect the rights and pride of women like Protection of women from Domestic Violence Act, Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, Dowry Prohibition
