This study intends to frame a picture of various kinds of discriminatory attitudes women face in different religious contexts which are by no means homogeneous and monolithic and those happen due to the traditional supremacy of men in all walks of life as well as in religion. Women are always discarded from performing dominant religious roles while all the rigid religious rules and restrictions are reserved for them. Since birth to death, in times of peace or war, women get subjugated at the hand of patriarchy and the patriarchal use of religion. modern times due to change in family structure and gender roles women especially in nuclear families also handles the financial tensions and managerial work and there remains a little room for performing those rituals. Still they keep maintaining those codes and disciplines without making questions. The socialization of women restricts them from questioning. They are taught be passive, subordinate and tolerant. They are often forced to choose between safety and their religious community and tradition. Religion can play a significant role in shaping the character and beliefs of individuals and communities.
