Religious Practices and Legal Rights of Women

Author(s) HARDIK SHARMA
Country India
Abstract This paper delves into the complex interplay between religious practices and the legal rights of women across various domains, including marriage, reproduction, gender equality, and the broader realm of civil liberties. By examining the conflicts and congruences between legal frameworks and religious doctrines, this study sheds light on the challenges and opportunities for advancing women's rights within diverse religious contexts.
Firstly, the paper addresses the tensions arising from conflicting legal rights and religious doctrines, particularly concerning issues such as gender equality, autonomy, and bodily integrity. It scrutinizes instances where religious beliefs may clash with legal protections, potentially undermining women's rights in areas such as education, employment, and access to justice. Secondly, the research scrutinizes the extent of gender equality within religious institutions, analysing the participation, leadership roles, and decision-making authority afforded to women across different faith traditions. It explores the barriers women face in accessing equal opportunities within religious hierarchies and the strategies employed to challenge discriminatory practices.
Furthermore, the paper delves into the intersection of religious and civil laws concerning marriage and divorce, delineating how religious practices influence legal frameworks governing matrimonial relationships, custody arrangements, property rights, and financial support obligations. It highlights discrepancies between religious and secular norms, and the implications for women's rights and agency within marital unions. Moreover, the study investigates the impact of religious beliefs on women's reproductive rights, including access to contraception, abortion, and fertility treatments. It examines the role of religious doctrines in shaping public discourse, legislative initiatives, and healthcare policies, and the resulting effects on women's bodily autonomy and reproductive healthcare access. Through a comprehensive examination of these interconnected issues, this paper contributes to a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities at the nexus of religious practices and legal rights for women.
