ABSTRACT
We are living in 21st century, an era of legal advancements. Despite being one of the largest democracies in the world, we are not able to protect women. We continue to rely on antiquated and archaic rules for their protection, which is absurd given that they are unable to keep up with the rapidly evolving requirements of our society. In our society, women are treated like goddesses, but they are also subjected to atrocities like marital rape and domestic abuse. Women are still seen as marital objects. Although we advocate for women's empowerment, we do not want them to be able to speak out against the infringement of their fundamental human rights. We as a nation are failing if even one woman feels insecure in her own house.
