Separated and Divorced Women in India
- Share to:
Though separations, desertions and divorces are increasing in India today,1
not much attention has been paid to the manner in which these deserted and
separated women live, often with their children, and what their rights and
entitlements are in/from the marital home. Very few empirical legal studies
exist on the economic status of divorced and separated women in India. In
the recent past, some studies by social scientists on single women, particularly
widows, highlight their general social and economic condition. In some of
these studies, the condition of separated/deserted women has been described
as even worse than that of a widow.2 They are described as women ‘even
more despised ... in a twilight zone of neither being respectably married nor
widowed—especially those who have themselves left their partners
