Gender Discrimination of Hindu Personal Law in Bangladesh

Abstract

Family law, which governs the rights and obligations of people within their families in these cultures, is typically based on the religious or secular norms of various groups. Family law in Bangladesh is governed by the personal laws of the various religious sects. The Hindu community is the second-largest religious group in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, women have few or no rights. In Bangladesh, women's rights are unquestionably a problem. Things are improving, but only very slowly. Due to religious concerns, a lot of men oppose women being granted the same rights as men. Bangladeshi women have fought to secure their rights in the home, society, and government. Practically, in terms of society and the application of the law. Family laws are defined as the body of laws that govern relationships between men and women in the home, including marriage, divorce, dowry, child support, guardianship, custody, inheritance, and restoration of a couple's intimate relationship. However, this is not boredom. The world and all societies continue to experience gender issues forever. Patriarchy has always ruled over women in all countries. Personal law has undermined women's rights by giving men disproportionate rights. Women continue to experience unfairness, exclusion, and prejudice, and they have little influence over decision-making. Women are prevented from exercising their rights by sociopolitical factors as well as discriminatory laws and policies that obstruct formal equality.
