Book Description

Unraveling the Legal Framework That Protects Women

India has enacted numerous laws to empower and protect women, ensuring their rights in a historically male-dominated society. The Legal Shield: A Comprehensive Guide to Women's Rights in India is an essential book that meticulously explains these legal protections, making them accessible to everyone-women seeking justice, legal practitioners, students, and policymakers. This book serves as a roadmap to understanding the legal avenues available for women's protection while also addressing the crucial issue of legal misuse that has emerged in recent times.

A Deep Dive into Women's Legal Protections

From property rights and domestic violence laws to protection against workplace harassment and sexual offenses, this book explores every significant legal provision enacted to safeguard women. It discusses landmark judgments, real-life case studies, and expert interpretations that help decode complex legal jargon into practical knowledge. Whether it's understanding The Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, or The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, this book is your guide to knowing your rights and responsibilities.

The Rise of Legal Misuse - A Growing Concern

While legal provisions are meant to shield the vulnerable, there has been a rising trend of misuse, particularly in laws like Section 498A IPC (Cruelty by Husband or Relatives), Dowry Prohibition Act, and Sexual Harassment Laws. Innocent men and their families often find themselves entangled in false allegations, leading to wrongful arrests, lengthy court battles, financial distress, and social humiliation. The Legal Shield does not shy away from addressing these harsh realities. It provides a balanced perspective-acknowledging the necessity of legal protection for women while also exposing the consequences of its abuse.

Legal Remedies for the Falsely Accused

For those who have been wrongly accused, the book offers a crucial lifeline. It explains legal remedies available under Sections 182 and 211 IPC (False Information and False Charges), perjury laws, and counter-laws that can be invoked to fight back against false accusations. Through compelling case studies and expert legal strategies, this book equips readers with the knowledge to safeguard themselves against unjust legal action.
