Our society is male dominated society. Women have not got equal rights here. They have not got equal political, social, economic and educational rights. Sons are sent to a good school but the daughters read in general school, when they go to their husband's house after marriage. They are deprived from father's property. They have to work hard in the house. Women do the household work. Men are free from such type of work. It is said that household works are the works of women in a family. The men read and write, go to office. He is involved in social work and guides the family. He is regarded as the head of the family. He controls finance. There is injustice to the women. In our traditional society, there is no identity of a woman. She has no name. When she is in her father's house, she is called by the name of father.
