Vedic India respected women. In 200 B.C., the ancient Indian lawgiver Manu stated, "Where women are revered, the gods are delighted; but where they are disrespected, no holy ritual is beneficial." Before the ceremony, the groom may make a vow to the bride. As a mother, wife, and sister, she was held in high regard. She symbolizes bravery, love, sacrifice, and suffering. Women, who make up almost half of the country's population, have been denied development prospects on purpose in the guise of religion and socio cultural customs. As a result of many repulsive practices, conventional rigidities, and depravities, the condition of women in society was dismal. The widespread illiteracy, forced child marriage, complete denial of individuality, economic dependence, heavy domestic work-load that remained unpaid and unrecognized, absence of career and mobility, non-recognition of their economic contribution, poor working conditions and wages, and monotonous jobs, etc., were to blame for their pitiful conditions Due to social, economic, and political issues, women have lost respect. The practices of Sati, Purdah, child marriage, and dowry humiliated women both within and beyond the house. Sexual harassment in the workplace, kidnapping, and female foeticide have resulted in horrific social behavior, and the majority of dependent women have lost their identities.
