Abstract

In contemporary India, there are plethora of laws enacted by the Parliament and various other legislatures for the Empowerment of women, but even after more than seven decades of independence contribution of women in their family is just homemakers, childbearing, and performing other domestic works. A woman is more powerful than the man in raising the generation ahead to new levels. They have tremendous influence. But still, males are an active part, and the females are a passive part of the Society. She is confined to the kitchen and boundary walls of the home. The past several decades have seen greater attention and some progress towards women's Empowerment. Law cannot change Society overnight, but it can certainly ensure that the disadvantaged are not given a raw deal. It is essential to empower women to extend the economic rights of women. In the ancient period the women were treated as chattel and a slave. But during the Vedic period, women had exalted position and they enjoyed a fair amount of personal freedom and equality with men. Indian Constitution has a substantially agenda to ensure equality amongst its citizens. It not only assurance equality to all its persons under Article 14 as a fundamental right, but also exhausted this Article to designed a chamber for positive action and optimistic discrimination.

It also be subject to on the type of property in issue i.e. whether the property is self -acquired or ancestral /hereditary. This paper highlights the voyage of Hindu females in the Hindu law.
