The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Constitution of India in its preamble, fundamental rights, fundamental duties and commanding principles. The Constitution not only ensures equality for women, but also empowers the state to take positive discriminatory measures against women. However, in the domain of women’s human rights in India, there is a wide gap between ideology and practice. Indian society is a male-dominated society where man is always superior to society.

This article will shed light on the constitutional and legal rights of women in India.
