The Quest for Gender Justice in India: Lessons from the Shayara Bano Verdict (2017)
Author(s): Dr. Gurdeep Kaur and Ankit Tomar
Abstract: Everyone in the state has the legal right to equivalence, which ensures their equality before the law. In daily life, there are several impacts that appear approachable and easily accessible to the normal individual, but this is not always the case. We see a wide range of constraints in one form or another. The list covers the country’s Supreme Court, as well as churches and tabernacles. Gender justice protects women under Articles 15(1), 16(2), and 42, which protect individuals against unfairness in terms of equity, employment, and gender-based benefits, respectively.
Gender justice requires that every gender should be able to live with dignity and freedom. India is a temporal state; hence there is no state religion. Despite the country’s tremendous diversity, our founding fathers recognised the need of social cohesion in Indian society and the need to promote progressive ideas at the expense of religious liberty. Thus, for a progressive, egalitarian, and equal society in which the state has the authority to determine how humans interact with one another, generalities such as the right to equivalency, freedom of religion with reasonable restrictions, denomination, and the Uniform Civil Code were established.
