Abstract

Indian system is very complex because its social, religious and cultural practices and its other issues
like education, employment, opportunities, these issues effect can be seen on the life women because
it makes a difference between men and women. Women are traditionally considered by society as
weaker gender. She has been accorded a subordinate position to men. women still live in present day,
in the same condition of the past. Women have no power to take decisions independently either
inside their home or out side the work. Lack of education is the main cause of it in present time. The
unfortunate part of gender inequality in our society, is that women face social customs, beliefs and
patriarchal system.
