 CONCLUSION
Finally one can say that in India there are so many laws by legislatures,
rules by administrator and judicial pronouncements and more
importantly individual as well as group women organizations continuous
affords for women protection and empowerment but too little justice to
her because of lack of unawareness, un-interest among women and
people in society. It is the need of the hour to have aware and
empowered women. An empowered woman not only protects herself
but also protect people around her. So, it is time to break silence;
women should fight for her place in this male dominated society. It
should be start from family itself. The mindset and the patriarchal views
that have engulfed Indian people mindset since ages should be change
then only the real fruits of law will be enjoyed by women.
