9780198076636 2012 HB Rs 895

Laws protecting women are based on a belief that

gender-sensitive statutory laws can protect women better than the laws based

on community practices of patriarchal traditions. However, in India these two

sets of laws constantly overlap. Though apparently in conflict, the statutory laws,

which are deemed to be uniform and certain but also formal and alien, coexist

alongside the pluralistic community practices which are fluid, ridden with internal

contradictions but also accessible. This volume analyses the impact of such laws

on womens rights, and studies the interventionist role of courts. The essays

explore the contradictions that Indian women face when it comes to choosing

between the formal state laws and community-based laws.

Readership: The book will be useful t o feminist activists, students and teachers offamily laws, constitutional law, gender studies, and independent researchers working

in these areas.
