Abstract

Substantial evidence exists regarding Women being exploited every now and then on several accounts like dowry, domestic violence, bride-burning etc. Though Constitutional provisions restrain unlawful activities against Women but these laws are overlapping, complex and incomprehensible by this section of the society. Specific laws have been legislated to protect the vulnerable sections of the society. Despite, the laws being in place it is disappointing that still crime against Women is being committed. In this paper, the researcher has focused on the exploitation of Women in society on various fronts.
