Abstract

Rapid and far-reaching changes to women's legal rights have occurred in several nations inrecent years. There are still many parts of the world where women's freedom and independence areseverely limited. What do the ramifications of these gender-based legal distinctions in the Women'sReservation Employment Act look like? This research investigates global trends in the connectionbetween discriminatory laws based on gender and measures of women's agency on the Reservation. Wezero in on one enabling law, parental leave, and two restricting ones, constraints on legal ability anddiscrimination in wage job. According to our research, the most significant factor in determining whetheror not women own assets and are part of the labor force is the degree to which their legal capacity isconstrained. This includes restrictions on married women's rights to work and travel on the Reservation,unequal inheritance rights, and spousal obedience rules that are typically embedded in family andpersonal status laws. In nations with a sizable formal sector, discrimination in wage work is linked towider gender pay inequalities, while parental leave is linked to narrower gaps. These results emphasizethe significance of considering legal rights and their possible implications as multidimensional, as wellas the influence of family law on women's lives. In order to break down the barriers that keep Indianwomen from achieving complete equality in society, legislative actions like the Women's Reservation Billare essential.
