Involvement of Muslim Women in Economic Activities and Socio-Economic Development:A Case Study of Biratnagar Metropolis

The study aims to explore the involvement of Muslim women in gainful activities and uplifting their socioeconomic conditions. The paper is based on primary data, collected through questionnaire and observation of Muslim women from Biratnagar metropolis. The study revealed the involvement of Muslim women in lucrative economic activities has augmented their socio-economic conditions. Though their involvement in economic activities is appreciated by their society, they are not reciprocated accordingly to their efforts. Due to lack of education and cultural practices like divorce, early age marriage, the number of children secludes Muslim women from enjoying full-fledged empowerment.
