Abstract

The United Nation's Report in 1980 displayed that -"Women constitute a large portion of the world's populace, work for about 66% of its time and only get one tenth of the world's pay and under one hundredth of the property." The Hindu woman’s position is not very different. Despite the fact that a woman in a Hindu family relished a respectable status regarding upbringing in the family, she was a disregarded individual with reference to property holdings. A lot like those of women of some other nations, the property privileges of Hindu women have developed out of an on-going struggle between the general population supporting the old norms and the persons pushing the dynamic corrections. There is no single body of property privileges of Hindu women. Their property rights get decided relying upon which religion and religious school she takes after, whether she is married or not, which part
of the nation she originates from, whether she is tribal or non-tribal, and so on and so forth.
