This study would consider the issues related to gender inequality in India, especially in Haryana where most of the women face discrimination in many sectors such as, cultural, political, educational and economical. The reality of gender inequality is very complicated and variegated at a large pace. Haryana is known notoriously for its dowry cases and women trafficking consequently making the women a burden for their parents. My paper will be dealing with all these women related issues and with some possible solutions to these problems as well

Today's woman not only supplements the family income using her personal potentials and skills but also does this all quite competently. Women in India, especially in Haryana no longer need to wait for employment outside their homes, but they can also be successful starters of entrepreneurial ventures, but here comes the limitation of a woman when her eligibility for a loan to start her own business venture is refused. In this paper I shall also deal with issues related to law and gender inequality becoming the major causes of a woman's sufferance in Haryana.

Through a small effort of writing this research paper, I will also be contributing to a huge cause of law and gender bias directed towards the women inhabitants of Haryana. In fine this paper shall focus on multidimensional issues of gender inequality and law grievances in Haryana.

Abstract


This study would consider the issues related to gender inequality in India, especially in Haryana where most of the women face discrimination in many sectors such as, cultural, political, educational and economical. The reality of gender inequality is very complicated and variegated at a large pace. Haryana is known notoriously for its dowry cases and women trafficking consequently making the women a burden for their parents. My paper will be dealing with all these women related issues and with some possible solutions to these problems as well

Today's woman not only supplements the family income using her personal potentials and skills but also does this all quite competently. Women in India, especially in Haryana no longer need to wait for employment outside their homes, but they can also be successful starters of entrepreneurial ventures, but here comes the limitation of a woman when her eligibility for a loan to start her own business venture is refused. In this paper I shall also deal with issues related to law and gender inequality becoming the major causes of a woman's sufferance in Haryana.

Through a small effort of writing this research paper, I will also be contributing to a huge cause of law and gender bias directed towards the women inhabitants of Haryana. In fine this paper shall focus on multidimensional issues of gender inequality and law grievances in Haryana.
