Women of India:

Why keep blaming the west for all our ills? Why do we even look towards the west in anticipation for answers to our pressing problems? The people who have been, and those who are still living; our very own citizens are responsible for the ills we face. Take this example, a high court orders an arrest for a western actor and an Indian actress, who patently pecked each other on stage. Well, the intention was to regard our 'high' Indian moral standards. However, not many weeks back, in political rallies, young girls aged 16 & 17 years were dancing to racy tunes to a crowd of lecherous dirty politicos - for political canvassing. The same political canvassing that will elect our next leaders. How many filed PILs' and how many magistrates did anything to hold up the indecent showcasing of our 'Indian women', that too, girls who should be getting educated.

Position of women vs religion:

Religions are the platform of discrimination since its inception and the women are the most sufferer. Actually the claver wicked learned people in the ancient time used religion not only to discriminate women but also to create division in society. We were taught to follow the religions in such a way that still today we become afraid to go against religion knowing it is wrong. (Ex: Generally in Hinduism there is a ritual of donating all household articles during Shraddh. knowing those articles will be used by pandit only, we don't revolt against the ritual). In this process men become egoistic and still feel uncomfortable in giving equal power and rights to women.

A doctor rashmi agarwal(an MBBS,MD degree holder) was just stabbed brutally seven times by her husband.(Her husband who is also a MBBS doctor, and a son of a famous medical authority holder personnel) the Girl (rashmi agarwal) remained in coma for 7 years after the attack. And last year she died. Now what positivity is being shown here?
Is it not common in Indian culture? a working woman will wake up at 6 o clock in morning, will make food for her lazy husband, will make tea breakfast for her in-laws, will make her children ready for school, and will leave to office then after all her duties at home at 9.There at office, she will work her all stuff, all hard work, in evening at 7 she will return to home, she is supposed to make food for the in laws, and the dearest children who actually are her duties, her responsibilities, and then only she may have a bit of rest.

Great males crying against women, how many of them actually know how to broom and clean the floor of their home?, How many of them are used to cleans the utensil and how many helps their wives in making food by cutting vegetables or making flour ready for making chapattis? How many of them really can make tea for their wife everyday in morning and in evening after she come back tired from the office? How many of the males are used to help their children in studies and home works? How many of males changes the dirty diapers of babies?.If the  male will not help her out in homely duties and responsibilities, Now she is not going to leave her jobs.women are awakening, and no one can exploit her. Women deserves economic freedom, she will earn for herself, women deserves respect, and it is shame if she is considered as companion of male, because male in no way is better than female, However women may choose a male as her companion, but only a companion. Women deserves any type of education available in which she is interested in. women deserves freedom from the societal hurdles and chains of marriage while she is not interested, and various ills like dowry, and others. Women will get it. No illusionist’s stories can stop women from getting it NOW!

Western Women:

In UK,the women started their struggle to get the right to vote in 1897.In 1903, women social and political union came was formed, mere 100 years ago. And finally, in 1918, the resolution was passed by the house of commons in UK granting women the right to vote. The results of the vote are as follows: 385 in favor and 55 were still against, just 90 years ago. And this right was only given to women above 30 years of age where as males were allowed to vote at the age of 21.

Now coming to the Sole superpower on earth, the USA.

The American declaration which took place in 1776 has no concept of Women Rights. Richard writes in his book ''American History- A Survey New York, 7th Edition 1987 Page 122''.He writes that in the colonial society, a married woman has literally no rights and that the revolution did little to change. The declaration of rights was only for men and not for women, not even for white women.Susan B Anthony,the champion of the American Women rights was sent to jail in 1872, and her crime was for casting the vote. She broke the law by casting her vote since women were not allowed to vote in USA.
The USA adopted the equal rights for women in 1919.

Islam Women:

Almost all western countries adopted Women rights just about 100 years ago where as Islam declared women as legal person in Quran.About 1400 years ago, women were appointed as Members of Parliament,administrators,officers in the administrative department of the state of Madinah. Hazrate Shifa binte Abdullah was appointed as a judge.Ladies were appointed as ambassadors,diplomats.During the Caliphate of Hazrat Usman Ghani RA Hazrate Umme Kulsoom,daughter of Hazrat Ali RA was sent as an ambassador/diplomat to the Queen of Roman Empire.(Quoted by Tabari, Tariq ul umame wal Mulook)


Mixed marriage doesn’t mean that one should marry a non Muslim. Marriage with non Muslim is haram. Here It means that one is encouraged to marry anyone from any tribe, nation etc. e.g. a Muslim man from America can marry a Muslim women from Africa and vice versa. A women can take divorce in Islam. But I have a serious problem with Islamic personal laws in India. The triple talaq is valid just for men. A khula, that is the women has to pay her mahr( dower) or some consideration can be done but only with the consent of the husband. A mutah or a divorce by mutual consent can also be done.
According to classical Hanafi law which is followed in South Asia a women has no other option for divorce. By adding other principles from Maliki law and other grounds there is something called the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act where a woman has many grounds for divorce such as cruelty, adultery etc. But a man can divorce at will, while a woman cannot in India. Polygamy is also permissible without any restrictions imposed by the state. Contrast that with Pakistan, where triple talaq is very restricted, a man has to give a notice to a chairman of an arbitration council and the marriage is dissolved one month later, so there is a chance for reconciliation. A women has the right to a khula divorce by paying her dower even without the consent of her husband. In the case of polygamy no man can have a second marriage without getting permission in writing along with reasons for marriage from the court and consent of the wives. Note that consent is not required in India. In this way, I would like to educate the community members about the problem of Islamic personal law in India which is so gender biased. This was not the intention of the Prophet at all and triple talaq is a disapproved practice by him. Whatever may be the problem of women in Islam, its personal law in India needs to be revised immediately. I would welcome any debate on this!

And laws in Islam are not the same at all everywhere; there are many different schools of law which are interpretations of the law, mainly because there is not enough in the Quran and hadiths to have a position of law which is relatively certain on every issue.
I'm a law student btw and I wrote a paper on Islamic personal laws in India, Malaysia and Pakistan so I have cited sources for everything I'm saying.

A lot of Muslim women who are hard done by because of these laws do have a big problem and suffer a lot and do speak out. There are lots of cases fought in court where for example a triple talaq was uttered while intoxicated where the courts have ruled that the man and woman cannot remarry until the woman gets married to someone else. Even the man wants his wife but can't. There are countless other examples so please don't generalize.

In Hinduism:

Child Marriages mostly Happen Among certain community of People Who Call Themselves Hindus. It even happens among Muslims and Christians; especially catholics.The canon law of the Catholics keeps the minimum age for marriage at 14 for girls and 16 for boys.Social and economic conditions lead to child marriage, be it among Hindus, Muslims, Christians, animist tribal or any other community. But, the scriptures of Hinduism, or for that matter, any of the world's major religions, don't insist on child marriage. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day has emerged only in the Twentieth century & it is not connected to the teachings of Jesus .practice is prevalent among Christians also, besides among Muslims in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the middle east and other places. It is also prevalent in many parts of Africa, and in fact, child marriage has existed in every civilization at some point of time or the other, and cannot be said to only be a practice of the Hindus of india.

Hinduism has lots of hypocrisy as a religion. In one way it says god can be worshipped as a mother another way it allows dowry, child marriage, less rights to women in education than marriage. questions against divorce and widow marriage. In one way it touches feet of divine mother the other way doesn’t allow girls to worship in temples. (Very few r exceptions).in one way durga kills the asuras when male gods fail. The other way they don’t allow girls to get out of home for work.

Icons of women:

Every girl must think of there ideal as Rani lakshmi bai.But in our nation are improving day by day.Women are running the big organizations. Like you can take the example of Sonia Gandhi as Chairperson of the Congress party and leading the whole country. Women are bold enough nowadays to take their decisions in the cities. It is because of the education provided to the girls to become self dependent. But there are many wrong things going in small towns or villages like marrying the small girl, dowry system, Sati pratha,etc where they are dependent on their parents and parents are very poor to afford the expenditure of the girls.

But in the metro cities the things seems to be totally different. The women are educated in the metro cities and they become self dependent. They start getting the higher salaries by working hard. We should our thinking levels..U can also take the example of Sunita Williams, an American astronaut of Indian origin, has been chosen to be a part of NASA's 14th expedition to the International Space Station (ISS).We can also take the example of Kalpana Chawla. Nation is proud of these women. We can also take the example of Condolesce Rice. Women can do each and everything. The situation can be made good by spreading the education to every person in India because there are certain area in which people think that women are weaker sections. So Women must take the step forward and prove themselves too proud for their nation and world.
