11 Legal Rights Every Woman Must Know | ISH News

Being a woman in India comes with its share of challenges, but knowing and asserting our legal rights is crucial for empowerment. Here are 10 legal rights every woman in India should be aware of:
1. Equal Pay: The Equal Remuneration Act 1976 ensures equal pay for equal work, prohibiting salary discrimination based on gender.
2. Dignity in Legal Processes: In legal matters involving women, arrests and examinations must be conducted in the presence of another woman, safeguarding dignity and privacy.
3. Workplace Harassment: The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2013 allows women to file complaints, ensuring a safe work environment and promoting economic empowerment.
4. Domestic Violence: Section 498 of the Indian Constitution empowers women to file complaints against domestic abuse, with offenders facing non-bailable imprisonment.
5. Anonymity for Sexual Assault Victims: Victims have the right to record statements privately to protect their identity during legal proceedings.
6. Free Legal Aid: The Legal Services Authorities Act 1987 provides rape victims with free legal services and representation, easing the economic burden.
7. Night Arrest Protection: Section 46(4) of the Criminal Procedure Code prevents the arrest of women after sunset and before sunrise, except in exceptional circumstances.
8. Virtual Complaints: The POSH Act 2013 allows women to file virtual complaints through email or written submissions, easing reporting for various groups.
9. Against Indecent Representation: The Indecent Representation of Women Prohibition Act of 1986 penalizes indecent depictions of women, protecting public morality.
10. Against Stalking: Section 354D of the IPC empowers women to file complaints and take legal action against stalking, whether in person or through electronic communication.
Additionally, women have the right to Zero FIR, allowing them to file a complaint at any police station regardless of jurisdiction, as provided by the Supreme Court of India. Being aware of these rights is a crucial step towards self-empowerment.
