Feminist Jurisprudence in India

Feminist jurisprudence is a school of thought that recognises the problem of discrimination against women and understands the subordination they have been subjected to from the times immemorial. Indian society has been a patriarchal society where women have faced gender bias in all possible spheres of life. It is time to realise that discrimination pushes women behind which means half of the population that has equal power and efficiency is living a life of disadvantage just because of their gender and this is what the feminist jurisprudence tries to evade. Lawmakers and judiciary have shown some will to eradicate the gender bias, and feminist jurisprudence has evolved at a faster pace than ever in last one decade. India has enacted many gender-neutral laws and has gone to the extent of positive discrimination to counter the disadvantage women faces in the stereotypical society. Judiciary has also been proactive towards women rights and equal status in all spheres of life. The paper aims to discuss this paradigm shift and evolution of feminist jurisprudence through judicial intervention in India. The concept of feminist jurisprudence is not a very contemporary yet the kind of support and acceptance about women rights that we see today has never been witnessed ever before, and that is why now is the right time to strike the change and create a gender-bias-free society.Read more
