According to hindu society sons are the legal heirs of family property. But I think both son and daughter should get equal legal heirs of family property. Girls should get chance to study completely and stand on their foot to work and become independent successfully to lead the society. Men are caregivers but women also do very hard to get success to maintain the family. Practice of dowry should get stop as it is a burden on the parents.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage is a very harmful practice that denies girl theirs right to make vital decisions about their sexual health. We live in the society where there is lot of differences from the rest of our country. In our Garo society, girls are permanent members of the family.
DeleteAs for some society in our country till today also they believe that girls are not equal to boys. They prefer that girls should be below boys and should not get any heirs in the families because they are not permanent members in the house ant should nt be given any proper education and should get married fast. All these kinds of beliefs should be stop fast, because now a days girls can do better than boys and have more strength to face what ever problems they face
ReplyDeleteDaughters as well as sons should be legal heirs of family property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls and practise of dowry should be stopped because its hampers their health.
There should be no preference when it comes to sons and daughters.
There should be no restriction on physical mobility of girls provided they should be cautious about their whereabouts.Girls are permanent members of the family.
According to some beliefs and practices sons are legal heirs of family property. Though it is an old custom of practice surely it needs to be modified and changed where daughters also should enjoy equal share of the family property. Early marriage is an obstacle/burden that prevent the girl to enjoy her right to study and to become independent of her own choices. Dowry is another problem that brings misunderstanding and looking down towards the poor family of the society. Therefore it should not be practiced. The family should thankfully and faithfully accept their children without a special intension of getting a boy or a girl because children are the blessing of God for the family.
ReplyDeleteSome of these practices like child marriage, dowry systems etc have been abolished by our constitution and regarding to boys as an heirs of family it lies on social belief and traditional customs of the citizens, so I from my side I suggest that the parents should treat their children equally without impartiality for both boys and girls and every society should change this systems of practices
ReplyDeleteIn Hindu society sons are the legal heirs. I think in this modern world daughters should also get the chance to be the legal heirs as they were also daughters of the parents.Think is that girl child education must be encouraged to be in equal with the male.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of the girl be should be avoided as it hampers the growth and development of the girl. Instead they should send yo school so that they could stand on their feet.
To think that boys are more capable than girls or are stronger than girls...is the mindset that need to be changed once and for all. Still in many parts of our country we see privileged and preferences being given more to a son than to a daughter. A girl is supposed to be a home maker- a norm that has been passed through ancestry need to be changed now. Girls should be given equal opportunities like boys to excel in every fields of work. They must not be restrain or forbidden to take their own decisions be it personal or professional. If this happens ..then surely we can see a new dawn in the lives of each and every women in and around the world.
ReplyDeleteChild marriage is a marriage of a girl or a boy before 18 years of age,early marriage is a very harmful practice that denies girl theirs right to make vital decisions about their sexual health and wellbwell.
ReplyDeleteI think that boys are more capable than girls, boys are stronger than girls. Still in many parts of our country we see privileged and preferences being given more to a son than to a daughter. All girls are supposed to be a home maker- a norm that has been passed through ancestry need to be changed now. Girls should be given equal opportunities like boys to excel in every fields of work.
ReplyDeleteSuch kind of ideas require change because it created a different in the society and divide the society. We should know that all boys and girls are born equal in dignity and right. There should not be any discrimination for any individual on the basis of caste, colour, creed, place or position of birth, sex and Culture.
ReplyDeleteLegal heirs to family property should be both sons and daughters as well as sons should be .
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls and practice of dowry should be stopped because its hampers their health.
There should be no preference when it comes to sons and daughters.
There should be no restriction on physical mobility of girls provided they should be cautious about their whereabouts.Girls are permanent members of the family.
1. Daughter should be given heirs of the family because both Boys and Girls are the same based on inteligence,courage etc. The only difference is Sex. Which is Biological after all they are the same.
ReplyDelete2.Early marriage means stopping of opportunities for girls and they will be remain at home and spent times with their houshold chores and look after their children.So this practice of Early Marriage should be banned and strict action should be taken by the authority.
3.If chances were given to the girls right from their childhood there will be no doubt that girls will be the caretaker or nurturers.
4.Practice of Dowry is still prevalent in todays india socities,the negative impact of this practice is for the poorpeople or the ' have not' who cannot give or pay what is demanded from the boys side. . Which lead to suicide or force to suicide and torturing of women. So this practice should be completely band in anyforms.
5.This is totally wrong to prefer boys rather than girl.Parents should understand that both of them are the same and should be provided same opportunities like schooling,jobs,recreation etc etc.
6.Menstrual taboos are still prevalent in rural india where most of people are ignorant and illiterate and fully rely on superstitious and belief,but this can be overcome by awareness programme through different platforms.
6.Physical restriction here means that girls cannot enjoys as boys do in terms of physical activities.This is wrong, and need tobe change ,we should remember that girls too are humanbeings and need space and time for doing activities for their health and wellbeing.
7.The belief of Girls are non- permanent in the house arises because in indian socities once the girls get married she has to move out of her parental family,but this too need to change because no doubt she move to her inlaws house but that only because of the custom . . .but we should know that she was born and brought up in her parental house where she has and share experiences and should not be treated non- permanent members in the family.
We live in the society where there is lot of differences from the rest of our country .In our khasi system it is quite opposit girls are having more previllages than boys sometimes boys are the temporary members of the family so some things should be done to provide them oppturtunity to raise thei status
DeleteBoth girls and boys have equal rights and legal hiers of family property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriages of girls leads to increase in population and decrease in their health.
Since both boys and girls are educated and are working in every field like taking major decisions in institutions and home too.
Dowry is a social evil which encourages criminal activities in the society so it should be abolished with special law and participation of society is highly required.
This is an old concept of preference given to son then daughter.They have equal rights to enjoy.
Now a days girls are educated in each and every field .when you educate a girl whole family and generations are educated but when you educate a boy you educate himself only.
Girls and boys should get equal opportunity so the all the old mytha can be eradicated early.
In all the aspects given, a girl or a woman should be given equal rights and opportunities as females are not lesser than males. To make a better world females are to be a part of the various activities in life as given to man. Both male and female are children of God so equality is of utmost important.
ReplyDeleteSons have for long being considered legal heir of the family. However the amended Hindu Succession Act gives daughters equal rights to inherit ancestral property like sons.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls impact the girl/girls education, health and psychological well-being.
The practice of dowry implies that a girl child is a severe economic liability on the parents and is the cause of female infanticide and a contributing factor to the practice of preference of sons over daughters.
The society's anti - female biases and the discrimination of girls and women are the causes of the problems faced by the girl child and the women - like ancient menstrual taboos, girls consider non permanent members of the family and restrictions in physical mobility of the girls, in addition to evils like practice of dowry, child marriages etc.
All these problems could be addressed if and when these biases of the society ends.
In our male dominated societies females are often treated as second to men.. Even though we are living in the 21st century, the entire society is walking with the faith that sons are the torch bearers of the family. What an irony. I have seen my friends going through all those taboos for being a girl where she has certain rules to follow even at her own home. And her elder brother is free to do whatever he wants.. This shows why we are still left behind compared to other countries.. We are equal in every aspects of life.. Boys or girls when given an opportunity to excel they both will shine.. Just treat them equally. This will happen when we will change our thoughts about gender stereotypes.. As we dowry is still practise and even child marriage is still prevalent e in our country. The utmost need of the hour is to create an awareness among people and to educate them about it..

ReplyDeleteIt's doesn't matter that the heir should be given to boys only, there are some culture in our country where the heir is all passed to girls.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage is illegal as it violates the rules of RTE act 2009
If change were given to girls they will be in no doubt be the caretaker in the family.
Practice of dowry is a social evil.
This is an old concept of preference given to son . They should be given equal rights to enjoy so that the old myth can also be eradicated permanently.
1. Sons are legal heirs of the family property:- this is not practice in our society, but somehow in our country there are societies still practicing or having this thought. So, we should change because both sons and daughters are human being, they should get the same. If son know this , he might think that (why should I work hard in my studies as I know I am legally get all the properties of my parents.?) Etc.
ReplyDelete2.Early marriage of girls:- This practice should change, because it effect the health of a girl, as later it will effect to her children also. She might get abnormal child, because she is not mature enough to get married . Instead they should give her education until she is fit to marry someone she love. So that she know how to take care of her children and family etc.
3 Men are caregivers/nurturers:- this thought should be remove from our thinking, because we know women also capable to do so. Sometimes we found women are better than men.
4.practice of Dowry:-This practised should not practice as it is not suitable in modern society. Because this practice have a bad effect to the poor family who have daughters. And it is like selling a girls to someone etc.
5.preference of sons over daughters:- this idea should be change. Because this shows that we love them unequal. And it may lead to hatred.
6. Menstrual taboos and myths:- this practice should be stop as it lead nowhere. But to nothing.
7.restriction o physical mobility of girls:- we should not restrict girls, because girls are also capable to do the things like boys can do. If we do so. I seem like we stop a girl to use her talent. Eg if a girl can play football very well, let her play and make use her talent.
8.girls are non- permanent members of the family:- this type of thinking should be thrown away. As it effect the human right. If a girl want to stay with her family, and don't want to get married. Let her do. If we force her to do so, it means we condemn her right to live. Etc.
In our state there is not much gender discrimination as ours is a matriarchal society. But still there are many gender stereotypes prevailing in the state and also nation as a whole. Male child is more preferred with the primitive notion that it is them who can provide and protect for the family. In Hindu society, females still face many myths and taboos related to menstruation where they are considered "dirty". There are many more cultural backward gender stereotypes that need to be changed. This can only be achieved by awareness and and an open mind to accept criticism and change.
ReplyDeleteIt's doesn't that the heir should be given to boys only, there some culture in our country where the heir is all passed to girls.

Girls and boys should get equal opportunity so all the old myths can be eradicated early.

ReplyDeleteDaughters should be given equal rights to property and hence sons cannot be legal heirs of family property.early marriage of girls is a great concern for their health as they are not matured enough to deliver a baby and moreover education is not completed at a certain level...men of 21st century are caregivers in contrast to historical period because most men understand the problems of women....dowry should be demolished in every state as it is a burden and domestic violence for a women....sons and daughters are equally important in today's world there is no discrimination....menstruation is a natural thing but ancient times it was considered as a big problem...I feel girls are more independent and know wat is good or bad for them....girls cannot be non permanent in a family because their contribution is equal to every son of a family
ReplyDeleteAll the given statements are negative social norms,ideas and practices which are still prevalent in our society.These institutions/ideas and practices required to change as these norms can affect nearly every aspect of our lives.These social norms and practices can function as unspoken rules or guidelines for how people are expected to behave.Our reactions are based on what we believe is normal & appropriate.Our attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are the product of our social norms & practices.So,we should change and modify harmful or negative social norms and promote positive social norms.
ReplyDeleteI think both son and daughter should get equal legal heirs of family property. Girls should get chance to persue her studies to achieve her goal and stand on their foot to work and become independent successfully to lead the society. Men are responsible for many things but women also do very hard to get success to maintain the family. Practice of child marriages should be totally stopped and the practice of Dowry also should be stopped as it's a burden on the parents.
ReplyDeleteSons as well as daughters should be legal heirs of family property.Early marriage of girls and practise of dowry should be stopped because it hampers their health.There should be no restriction on physical mobility of girls provided they should be cautious about their whereabouts and allow them do activities for their health and wellbeing.Girls must not be treated as non permanent members of the family.
ReplyDeleteSons and daughters should be given equal legal heirs of family property. Practice of dowry need to be changed in this modern age, as it affects the poor family. Early marriage for girls is a curse as it affects their health.Menstrual taboos and myths should not find place in people's minds this is natural.girls should not be restricted in their movement as they need to achieve their goals.
ReplyDeleteAccording to some beliefs and practices sons are legal heirs of family property. Though it is an old custom of practice surely it needs to be modified and changed where daughters also should enjoy equal share of the family property. Early marriage is an obstacle/burden that prevent the girl to enjoy her right to study and to become independent of her own choices. Dowry is another problem that brings misunderstanding and looking down towards the poor family of the society. Therefore it should not be practiced. The family should thankfully and faithfully accept their children without a special intension of getting a boy or a girl because children are the blessing of God for the family
ReplyDeleteIn various part of our country, it is still very common for girls and women to be denied equal opportunities at several levels due to factors like poor education, early marriages and a general lack of freedom to make decisions. Therefore, these certain ideas and practices needs to be changed in order to provide girls with equal opportunities to enable them to excel in life and achieve their dreams.
ReplyDeleteSocial norms are behavioral rules shared by people in a given society or groups constituting the society; they define what is considered "normal" and appropriate behaviour for members of that group or society. In fact they are even widely considered as 'culture and tradition'. Certain ideas and practices which were prevalent to the situations and conditions of the people at the point time and found suitable to the needs of the society were considered and enshrined as rigid rules to be followed by the society. However, it can also be noted that these social norms and practices are not universal. In fact there are cases of clashes/contradictions in aspects of certain practices being followed by different groups. Nevertheless, the point meant to be driven home, is that, despite the contradictions in following ways of life, different human societies and cultures flourishes if the 'family' which is a unit of the society bring changes in the practices mentioned in this NISHTHA ACTIVITY which are against the basic tenets of 'humanity' and detrimental towards gender sensitivity and equal treatment and rights of sexual orientation. Living in the modern world and especially in a 'democracy' and free thinking country like ours, it only augurs well for each unit of the society to bring a change in these gender inequalities for the betterment of its members in particular and also for the society and country in general.
ReplyDeleteIn all the aspects and in particular a girl or a woman should be given equal rights and opportunities as females are not lesser than males. Both male and female are children of God so equality is of utmost important.

ReplyDeleteIn all the aspects given, a girl or a woman should be given equal rights and opportunities as females are not lesser than males. To make a better world females are to be a part of the various activities in life as given to man. Both male and female are children of God so equality is of utmost important.
The listed social practices that create big differences between men and women in the society needs to change. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go to achieve full equality of rights and opportunities between men and women.Therefore, it is of paramount importance to end the multiple forms of gender violence and secure equal access to quality education and health, economic resources and participation in political life for both women and girls and men and boys. It is also essential to achieve equal opportunities in access to employment and to positions of leadership and decision-making at all levels.
ReplyDeleteIn all of these statements mentioned above, I strongly feel that we need to change our society and the views of people living in and around us.
ReplyDeleteMany of these statements mentioned above are age old activities that have been followed by our people and it is only dragging us behind in the long run.
I think we should Emphasize on eradicating such activities by educating our young generation about the same and make them aware that such activities are nothing but a Curse to our society.
Such stereotype acts should not prevail in today's world and everyone should get what is HUMAN rather than discrimination in the name of Sex, Equality and so on.
All the above practices are the only negative norms and ideas which are still practice in our society. So, we need to change such norms and promote a positive norms which treated equally both male and female in school,family,society,religious,work etc.
ReplyDelete• It is a common practice in India that sons especially the eldest, are legal heirs of family property. This practice, I feel, is an injustice from the parents to their wards. There should be no discrimination in children regarding this matter. They were born from the same parents, shared their childhood together under the same roof and grew up together in prosperity or adversity. When they grow up and have to leave their ancestral home, it’s painful to see them leave empty handed just because of this unfair practice. This practice needs to be done away with.
ReplyDelete• The practice of early marriage of girls is prevalent in most states of India. This practice is a deprivation of girls’ right to education and right to enjoy adolescence. Young girls are caring for their children instead of going to school or enjoying themselves in games and sports. As young mothers they may be lacking in tasks like housekeeping, childcare, etc. Therefore, this evil practice must be abolished.
• It is a well-known fact that women/mothers are usually caregivers/nurturers while men are bread earners. But in today’s world, this fact is changing; men can also be caregivers and nurturers and women bread earners. It all depends on mutual understanding and acceptance between the spouses.
• The practice of dowry in India has resulted in indebtedness, shame and disgrace in the bride’s family. Being unable to pay the dowry as demanded by the groom’s family, the bride has to bear all the insults, ill-treatment inflicted by the in-laws to her and her family. Sometimes, this leads to suicide on the bride’s part. To avoid the headache of dowry, most families resort to female foeticide. Thus, more stringent laws should be passed to put a stop to this evil.
• In the diverse cultures of India, it is seen that boys are preferred over daughters. Boys are seen as an asset or investment for the family, while girls, on the other hand are seen as liabilities. In the bid to make sure that every child conceived is a son, many families have had to resort to female foeticide which is illegal. The practice of female foeticide continues in spite of the most stringent laws that have been implemented. Acceptance, tolerance and a change of outlook could help alleviate the issue.
• In India it is believed that menstruation is dirty and impure even though it is the natural part of the reproductive cycle. This has impacted greatly on girls’ and women’s emotional state, mentality, lifestyle and health. Girls and women who are still menstruating are subject to restrictions in their daily lives like not entering the Puja room, the kitchen etc. since they are believed to be unclean. In many cases, girls drop out of school when they begin menstruating. This is discrimination on a large-scale curtailing women’s freedom and subjecting them to shame and a sense of inequality. So, this perception on menstruation must be changed in order to bring gender equality in the society.
• Restriction on girls’ physical mobility is another gender norm which is a structural barrier. Denied the liberty to move freely in public spaces, many girls are seen to drop out of school and resort to early marriage which negatively affect the girls’ health and well-being. We need a change in our outlook and allow girls and women to involve in social interactions beginning from the home and the school.
• The Indian families follow the tradition that the sons are the permanent members of the family where as daughters move out to become permanent members of the in-law’s family. This brings alienation of the girls from their siblings and parents once they move out of their homes. Parents are conscious of the fact that their daughters will leave home and will not support them in old age. They pamper the sons while ignoring the needs of the daughters subjecting the daughters to emotional trauma and negativity. In this case, gender discrimination begins at home. We may not be able to undo this tradition but we can always treat our children equally.
Both son and daughter should have legal heirs of family properties.Both have equal rights.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage should stop as many women died while giving birth to baby,and it takes away women's health and freedom.
Both men and women can be caregiver and nurturing.
It's cause serious problems for poor families and it's like selling their daughter before marriage,so stop dowry.
Son and daughter have equal rights and responsibilities for their families.
It's a woman nature.
Girl have freedom and independence on physical mobility and myths.
Mother and father can't ignore their daughter,so they are also remain the members of the family.
Girls also needs freedom of education, freedom of living in order to bring the good society
ReplyDeleteAs for some society in our country till today also they believe that girls are not equal to boys. They prefer that girls should be below boys and should not get any heirs in the families because they are not permanent members in the house ant should nt be given any proper education and should get married fast. All these kinds of beliefs should be stop fast, because now a days girls can do better than boys and have more strength to face what ever problems they face in everyday life
ReplyDeleteIn my point of view both son and girl should be legal heirs of family propert
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage and dowry should be stop.
Both boys and girl should be equallise.
Menstrual should be secret.
Physical mobility of girl should be allowed.
Try to understand girl are permanent member of the family.
The verious part of countries has culture both male and female are right to equalty merrige of Indian cityzenship act.The boys and girls are equal to schedule age limit boys need 20 and girls 18.
ReplyDelete1).Sons and daughters are the gifts of God to parents.Hence parents should give then egual right on family property.(2).In modern times even women should work in order to support their children .So girls should not get marriage early becoz they have to get enough education to be able to work.(3).Not only men are care giver even women can do it single handedly.(4).Dowry should be legally ban it is a burden to girls parents.(5).There should not be any preference over Sons or daughters in the long run they can do equal responsibility for their parent.(6).Menstrual taboo and myths can be done away with by giving awareness programme to the masses.(7).Truly responsible parents can decide where and when to allow physical mobility of girls,total or complete restriction can not yield good results.(8).Girls or boys are the legal right of their parents ,so legally they are the permanent members of the family
ReplyDelete1. Both girls and boys should be given egual status in the family,society.so that as the membermembers of the family they have the right right to received equal share or family property from their family and become both the legal heirs of family property
ReplyDelete2.Early marriage should be fully stop in the entire world especially in our country.it was the worst practice and belief that spoiled the entire life the girls and hamper the future of our girls.theretherefore girls also should have a right to live free,enjoy,share,and choice,the part of their life and become the problem solving of the society and nation
3. According to the khasi culture we believe that the girls are the legal heirs of family property family.but now some parents are understanding to share some property for their boy also.so in our country we must stop this gender thinking but believe that both girls and boys are the family member and both are have the same right in the family and society.
4.practicing of dowry is a wrong belief in the Hindu society.so we must stop this belief and practice.because this belief bring the feeling of cast ,tribe ,genders and so on and also it spoiled the society especially for the poor family and create the burden to the parents for having a child girl.so we must stop this dowry and eradicate this word from our nation
5.parents should not have a gender feeling so that they can welcome with joys to their baby not to think that they want a boy baby not a girl child. As human being we must stop this preference of son over doughter
6.In our society and family we should believe that both girls and boys are permanent member of family.the practice and belief that boy or girls are the permanent member of family is the worse.but instead we should believe that both girls and boys are capable to become the heirs of family.
For some society in our country especially the Hindu religion till date still believe that only boys should get the family property and not girls as girls are not equal to boys. Girls are made to get married first as they are temporary members in the house. Dowry system also create a lot of problems to the poor family and so there is an increase in the number of female infanticide. These practices should change and stop as girls should be treated equally as boys because children are the blessings from God.
ReplyDeleteDaughters and sons should be legally heirs of the family properties, old customs should be modified .Earlier marriage should stop.Dowry is one of the problem that brings anxieties to the parents especially to the poor and needy.
ReplyDeleteIndia is a vast country with a difference in cultures, relegions,belifes, thoughts and customary laws, till date societies especially Hindu they follow the old system practiced that the heridity of family properties should be given to their sons only. But according to my ideology all parents and society should change this myth,because all of our children are God's gift so we should treat them equal in every sphere of life.
ReplyDeleteChild marriage is an old practice in our country, this should be changed totally and imediately because it affect physicaly and mentally for the child,and it is against the universal laws,it is a high time for them to get education and develope body and mind and prepare their future lifefor better society.
In our modern world practice of dowry should be avoided and demolished , thousand of married women in India comitted suitcide espicially those who come from poor family background because they can not afford a huge amount demanded from husband family side.These practice is not acceptable in our modern society.
Preference of boys over daughters menstrual taboos and myths,restriction on physical mobility of girls and girls are not the parmanent members of the family are the thoughts and believe of the old generation. All these practices should be changed totally and accept the globalisation society that all women and men are equal in our families and in a society as a whole.
We should treat equally between girls and boys in our family, schools or any educational institutions and in a society as a whole.
Both men and women or boy or girl should be provided equal opportunity both by the parents either education or property...no partiality should be practices ... Child marriage and dowry practices should be band and prohibited.love marriage should be encourage when they are attained at specific age/proper ages...no superstitious belief....no partiality love or care...Sons and Daughters should be equally at any......
ReplyDelete1.Some societies in our country give more preference to men and this need to change and give women the opportunity too.
ReplyDelete2.Child or early marriage of girls need to stop and the solutions to it is we empower girls,provide them economic support, educate them etc.
3.When it comes caregivers even women play a crucial role in it.
4.Practicing of dowry still exists in today's world in some part of the communities and this should be prohibited.
5.Sons and daughters should be treated equally
6. Menstrual taboo and myth can be removed by educating the masses.
7. Physical mobility of girls should be permitted.
8. Parents should have the perceptions that girls too are permanent members of the family as to boys.
Ideas and practices that are required to change in terms of son are legal heirs of family property is that male or female must get all the rights equally and early marriage of girls should be stop as at Young age we should encourage them to attend school but not marriage practice.Dowry should be change as some family could not have effort to pay the dowry. We should also change the inequality among men or women instead treat them equally in all terms and give them equal opportunity and encourage them in everything they do in their life.

ReplyDeleteDaughters and sons are equal in front of their parents,so they should have equal opportunities in different fields in life.Early marriage of girls and dowry system should be abolished as it affects the family of a girl.Girls can run their families and can take major decisions,for menstrual taboos and myths awareness is needed,girls should be given equal permission to go out as given to sons.Yes girls are also the permanent member of the family.
ReplyDeleteAll over the world Men are always consider superior than the women which is obviously just a mindset of the society....its the 21st century both the sons n daughters need to be treated and promoted equally....its high time to also gave our kids the same education.....sometimes keeping our daughters in a box won't let her wings fly high....School should implement and educate the students on equality and equal shares.
ReplyDeleteBoth son and daughters should get the equal rights and legal heirs of family property. There should not be any discrimination on the basis of colour, culture and caste.
ReplyDeleteLike sons, daughters also must be a legal heirs of family property because daughters also have a right to get the family property.
ReplyDeleteGirls also have a right to get higher education.Early marriage kills their wishes to get higher education.
Women have more knowledgeable than men in these activities
In India, Dowry is a major cause of death of the women.It is very necessary to change it
Not only sons, but daughters also have a right to get equal love from their parents
It is very necessary to change the menstrual taboos and myth in the society because it affects the emotional of the girls.
Like boys, girls also must get equal treat from the parents. It is very necessary to change the negative thinking of the society.
Like boys, girls also come from the same parents so they also should take as a permanent members of the family.
According to certain society of our country,only sons are legal heir of the family property, because they believe that daughters are non-parmanent member of the family.This sort of mindset should be changed, daughters are children of same parents so as sons.They should be treated equally in every sphere.
ReplyDeleteThe following statements given in this activity needs to be changed.Why should only sons be the legal heirs of family property.I feel that both boys and girls should have equal share because they are from the same parents.Early marriage of girls should also be stopped as this would hinder a girl from going for higher education and as we see in most cases girls perform better than boys .If they marry early they lose their chance of having the opportunity for a career and as we see that in the present world it is difficult to depend only on the husband to provide for the family as everything is so expensive and it will be a burden for the man to give a decent life for his family.
ReplyDeleteYes it's true that men should be the caretaker and nurturer but even the women should have a job inorder to support the husband as there will be less burden for him and in this way he will bea happier person and as a happier person he can make his family happy .
If we treat girls & boys equally, then both sons & daughters should be legal heirs of family property. Early marriage of girls & dowry system should be abolished as these are social evils for girls as well as for family of the girls. Girls should have freedom on physical mobility & myths. About caregivers, women are playing a crucial role now a days. We the parents should treat sons & daughters equally & there should be clear perception that girls are also our permanent family members.
ReplyDeleteBoth boys and girls must be treated in equal manner. Encouraging them to take precautionary steps with the help the elders in persuing their dreams. Always help them, irrespective of their gender, to live their lives filled with love and hope, and to make them realized that their presence means a lot to us.
ReplyDeleteDaughters should be eaually treated as they are capable of anything. Child marriage should not be encouraged. Girls should be educated and live their lives according to their wishes.
ReplyDeleteThe above statement is practiced mainly by Hindu society from early century and some are still practicing today and caste system should be abolish in those areas, it descriminate gender equality and women have their liberty to be treated equally in any society being caste, religion, education or any field.
ReplyDeleteThe above statements are mainly practiced by Hindu societies since ancient times even until now some societies still follow these practices. These practices needs to be change because they mostly discriminates equality and the rights of an individual.
ReplyDeleteSome societies in our country still believes that boys are superior to girls, hence giving utmost importance to son's by giving legal heirs of family property , which is wrong , instead we should equally distribute it between them. Early marriages should be stopped, cos' it prevents the rights of a girl child to enjoy her right to education and to become independent in life. Yes men are caregivers but educated women also plays important roles in maintaining family livelihood. Practice of Dowry should be stopped , as it is a burden on Brides parents as well as on society. Menstrual taboos and myths shouldn't be practiced as well as there shouldn't be any restriction on physical mobility of a girl child. Lastly in our society girls are treated as non permanent members of a family, which needs to be corrected immediately and they should be allowed and gave equal rights and opportunities.
ReplyDeleteDaughters and sons are equal in front of their parents,so they should have equal opportunities in different fields in life.Early marriage of girls and dowry system should be abolished as it affects the family of a girl.Girls can run their families and can take major decisions,for menstrual taboos and myths awareness is needed,girls should be given equal opportunities in persuing their dreams and goals in life.
ReplyDeleteIn India ,I.e Hindu according to them sons/doughter are the first right as the heir of the family. Around 17%are force to marriage before the age of 15 years isolate child rights. Men are care giving a little different from women. India doury are practice where transfer of parental property as inherence at her marriage, inter vivos and mortis causa.In India parents see boys as investment than girls.. Menstraution is a phenomenon unique to girls. It has been surrendered by taboos and myths that excluding women. Their to Much restricted on girls liberty to move freely into public place.
ReplyDelete*Sons and daughters as well should be legal heirs of theirs family wealth.
ReplyDelete*All these kinds of beliefs should be completely stop I today's generations. Parents too should treat their children equally both boys and girls.
1)Although in most of the Indian family sons are the legal heirs of the family property but situation have changed and Supreme Court has already given the verdict that both son and daughter have the equal right to property. As they are born to the same parents so irrespective of sexual differentiation both of them should be treated equally
ReplyDelete2)early marriage of girls is a punishable offence. Girl child like boys deserve the liberty to get education and to become someone in the society, so it's very important to change the narrow mindset of every parents
3)this is not true because in the present society many single mothers are also present who can provide good future to their children
4)I think taking and giving dowry is the biggest crime.if this will persist no one will think of having girl child and those who found practicing dowry should be sent to jail
5)both sons and daughters are equal. It depends on how the parents nurture the child. It's and old notion that only a male child can take care of the family but now a days girls are equally capable in taking the responsibilities of the family members
6)menstrution is a natural process taking place in female body.but this has become taboo in certain sections of the society which leads to low grade knowledge levels and understanding of puberty. Therefore it is the demand of the time to change this mindset and provide extra care to the girl child. Because if correct knowledge is not provided the primary care of the girl child will be neglected
7)Girls are very precious. Extra care Should be given While we nurture them. Right from the childhood days they should be taught about good touch and bad touch. Rectricting their mobility is not a solution but giving them proper awareness and knowledge Is of utmost importance because that time our daughters could make judgement what is good and bad for her
8)girls are also the permanent members of the family . It's just that Mindset should be changed. It does not mean that after marriage she Does not belong to that house but in fact after marriage her responsibilities doubles as she has to take care of both her parental house as well as her in laws house
According to some societies, sons are the legal heirs of family property. But I think that daughters, like sons should have an equal birthright to inherit family property.Early marriage of girls is a great concern and this should be stopped as this leads to abuse and exploitation.Practice of dowry is a social evil that should be abolished .Sons and daughters should be treated equally.Both boys and girls are permanent members of the family as they are the legal rights of their parents.
ReplyDeleteFor me,whether its boys or girl s the parent should treat their children equal
ReplyDelete1. Practices that are required to change in terms of sons are legal heirs of family property: Sons and daughters should get equal shares. 2. Early marriage should be abolished as the child needs to live her own lives. 3. Men are caregivers but women are also capable to maintain the family. 4. Dowry system should be abolished as it is a heavy burdens for families and societies which can be disastrous . 5. Sons and daughters should be preferred equally. 6. During menstruation,girls should not be considered impure and berbe in their daily lives. 7. There should be no restriction on physical mobility of girls. 8. Parents should also treat girls as permanent members of family.
ReplyDeleteI live in the Khasi's Traditional where there are lots from the rest of the country. In our tradition girls are more privilege then boys. But both of them have the right to study,live their lives freely,no dowry and regarding marriage they can chose to marry the one they love,we can't force them. But about the heirs mostly the last daughter of the family will get the heirs and also to look after their old parents. But as per my understanding I feels that all the childrens should be equally treated and shared the parent's wealth, because both boy and girls are our children.
ReplyDeleteBoth daughters and sons are equal in the family and should be treated equally
ReplyDeleteIn all the aspects both boys and girls have the equal rights. As per our tradition both boys and girls are treated equally,they have same rights to do whatever they wanted to do. They can study they can go wherever they want to. They can marry the one they have chosen. There's no dowry . And according the heirs they are both equally shared.
ReplyDeleteThe amendment Hindu Succession Act gives daughters and sons equal rights to inherit ancestral properly. Early marriage as well as dowry should be banned. Girls should be given equal opportunities like boys and also early marriage hampers their health. It's wrong to prefer boys rather than girls there should not be any discrimination for any individual
ReplyDeleteGirls are no lesser than boys. Ancient menstrual taboo,girls non permanent members of family, restrictions in mobility of girls all these are evil practices and these biases of the society need to be addressed.
Both boys and girls are equal in the family
ReplyDeleteIn the Hindu culture males are the legal heirs to the property whereas females are not. But in the case of the khasi culture the females are the legal heirs to the property.
ReplyDeleteChild marriage has been a problem since the olden days in India but in the modern days child marriage is becoming less which is a good thing to be seen .
Dowry system has been a social evil since medieval times which leads to suicide and deaths.
I can conclude that these social evils should be stop as both men and women deserves equality and women are no less than men.

DeleteFirst of all we are human beings equal before all therefore creating gender bias practices died not arise ...in today's generation the practise is slowly disappearing ...for e.g. in meghalaya...today people are starting distributing their property equally among their children...this has to move a long way to pave way for gender equality
ReplyDeleteGender inequality has been a social issue in India for centuries. It is a known fact too, that discrimination starts from even before the girl child is born and sometimes she is killed as a foetus.
ReplyDeleteWhat is required is a concerted effort to sensitise the society in eradicating this issue of gender inequality. It is high time that every child is treated equally and given every opportunity required to grow to his/her full potential.
Education that helps create attitudinal shifts towards gender bias and activities to spread awareness.
Continuous efforts towards breaking myths and stereotypes around gender
Ensuring State accountability to implement various schemes, policies, laws, constitutional guarantees and international commitments
Institutionalising gender sensitive processes within various systems such as law and programmes
Encouraging community ownership in preventing violations based on gender discrimination
The rules which says that only men are the heirs or heads of the house should be proved wrong as girls also should have this right as they can also be the best caretaker of the family member. Infact these practises that brings inequality among boys and girls should be vanished from the society as not only boys are more powerful in the society but even girls also have their own power in their works.
ReplyDeleteTaking into consideration the Hindu cultural and religious customs Males are held in higher respect than females due to the sole fact that they carry on the lineage or bloodline. Thus property are conferred exclusively to the men. However, times are changing and these barbaric and outdated practices should be altered in order to ensure true Gender Equality.
ReplyDeleteWomen in the Hindu/Indian context are often regarded as a "liability". The older the women the larger a sum of dowry must be given and vice versa. Thus girls are married off at a younger age. Pre-colonial acts such as The Child Marriage Act of 1929 prohibits child marriage, it has undergone several amendments in 1940 and 1978.
The stereotypical notions of a man being a caregiver/ maintainer is very prevalent, however with the changing times women to are in a position to provide and sustain their families. In India however, only 22.7% of Indian women are part of the labour force, compared to 51.6% of men.
Travelling and movement is a basic human instinct and regardless of sex any human has the right to go wherever they choose. Basic human instinct cannot to curbed simply to due physical appearance and dimensions.
A home is its family. On no grounds must a woman be forced out simply because of the backward notion that "a girl is not a permanent member".
We saw in all of the above issues girls are look down mostly in all parts of our country.so we live in a changing time societies needs to think and be flexible it is high time to give important to girls and women also so that our country and society will be prosper and there will be varied talents and development in all walks of life

4. Practicing of dowry should be abolished as it affects the family of a girl especially the poor family.

7. Restriction on physical mobility of a girl is not permitted.
8. Parents should take an account that girls can also be the permanent members of the family.
1. Both boys and girl's can be heirs to the family property depending on the arrangement of the family
ReplyDelete2. Early marriage of girl's should be illegal and should not be encouraged
3. Women can also be caregivers or nurturers
4. Practice of dowry should also be abolished
5. Human beings are born equal irrespective of gender. The mindset that sons are better than daughter and vice versa should change.
6. Menstruation is a natural process. People should talk about it freely and not feel ashamed.
7. The government should make sure that public places are safe enough for girls to travel and move from place to place.
8. The view that girl's are non permanent members of the family should change. Even if they have a family of their own they are still family members .
. As per Indian law concerning Hindus is very clear that self-acquired intestate property of the decreased male/female. Today's Hindu is inherited by his/her sons and daughters in equal proportion along with survival spouse.
ReplyDelete. Society as a whole since child marriages reinforces a cycle of poverty and perpetuates gender discrimination, illiteracy and and malnutrition as well as high infant and maternal mortality rates.It negatively influences children's right to education, health and protection.
. The proportion of male caregivers is rapidly increasing. Male caregivers of dementia experienced lower burden than female caregivers despite care recipients more sever disease.
. In the modern era, practice of giving or taking of dowry by either parties has stop/prohibited. There are variations on dowry prevelance based on geography and class.
.Gender inequality is all over the world, however the basic preference for a male child over a female child is deeply entrenched. Daughter's are considered to be burden and son to be lifelong support -- in both emotionally and financially.
. Menstruation is a phenomenon unique to girls. Taboos and myths that excluded women from many aspect of social cultural life.such taboos present in many societies impact on girls.
.Restrictions are imposed on women and girls mobility with the norm being that they should around elopement, and stigma from losing the family honour, restrict her physical mobility.
. According to Hindu culture girls are non permanent member of the family after marriages. And boys are permanent member. Culture and traditional made them so. But today it dependent on their own decisions whether girls are capable of keeping their family or not. Its not hard and fast rule. Choices made upon them.
As we know that gender equality is a human right . Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make most of their lives.So such kind of ideas do require changes because it will prevent violence against women and girls. its essential for economic and prosperity . Societies that value women and men as equal are safer and healthier.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter the heir should be given to boys only but there are some culture in which the heir is given to girls
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage is illegal
Girls and boys should be given equal opportunity so the old myth can be eradicated permanently
According to the constitution of India Dowry system and Child Marriage was abolished long time back, but I don't understand why Indians still practice it. These practices should be stop so that there will be gender equality in the country. Legal heirs should be given to both sons and daughters.
ReplyDeleteEvery child deserves to reach his or her full potential, but gender inequalities in their lives and in their lives of those who care for them hinder this reality. Gender inequality results in unequal opportunities. While boys tend to experience greater freedom, girls tend to face extensive limitations on their ability to move freely and to make decisions affecting their work,education ,marriage and social relationships. We should change the norms about gender inequality or else our country will not fully develop unless both girls and boys are equally supported to reach their full potential.Gender equality is important as it leads to a better racial equality, better legal protections, it reduces human trafficking and also it can lead to peace and a better life.
ReplyDeleteBoth son and daughter should have legal heir of family property because they are both biological child and both should have equal right.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage should stop because it make the women lost many opportunities and just stay at home and do some household work.
Both men and women can be the nurturing.
For dowry it should be stop because for the poor family they will feel like thay are selling their daughter to the buyer.
Both son and daughter have the right to take care and take responsibility for the families.
Both sons and daughter are still the member of the family
Sons are legal heirs of family property.This is a custom practice by the Hindu society and it need to be changed. From my point of view I think both sons and daughter should get equal rights and share not only in property but in whatever the parents are doing for their children. Early marriage of girls in the olden days we see that girls are getting married at a very young age but I think that girls should get a chance to complete her studies and let her be independent . Men are caregiver or nurturers we see this only in the Hindu society.Why this is happening because girls once they get married they have to leave their parents house and stay with their in law so obviously men should be a caregiver as they have to stay with their parents. If girls are given a chance they can also be a caregiver. Practice of dowry should be stop because as we know due to dowry we can see that most women suicide or we can see some families treat or torture women not like their child but like servant or slave. Preference of sons over daughter this is totally wrong parents should understand that the same mother give birth to both the child so both sons and daughter should be get same preference and rights. Physical restriction here it means that girls cannot enjoy the same activities as boys do. But in today's world we can see that girls outshine more than boys. Girls are considered as a non permanent members in the house because once girls get married they leave their parents house but this also need to be change in our Indian society.
ReplyDeleteMindsets of citizens shoul change in order to bring about gender equality in our country.Both boys and girls should have equal share in the family property.Early marriage and the practise of dowry should be discouraged and severely dealt with.Women should be given the right to be caregiver and nurturer to increase family income so as to raise the standard of living.Boys and girls should not be considered outsiders in their parents home.The government and society should ensure safety measures strictly so that there will be no restrictions on physical mobility of girls
ReplyDeleteI think both son and daughter should get equal legal heirs of family property. Girls should get chance to persue her studies to achieve her goal and stand on their foot to work and become independent successfully to lead the society. Men are responsible for many things but women also do very hard to get success to maintain the family. Practice of child marriages should be totally stopped and the practice of Dowry also should be stopped as it's a burden on the parents.
ReplyDelete1. Both sons and daughters should get equal legal heirs of family property.
ReplyDelete2. Early marriage is an evil practice and should be stopped so that girls also can live freely.
3. Women should give the right to be a caregivers to increase the living standard of the family.
4.practicing of dowry should be banned as it hampers the life of poor families and development of the society.
5. Whether boys or girls, parents should loved them equally.
6. Menstrual taboos and myths should be changed as it affects the emotions of the girls.
7. There should be no restrictions on physical mobility of a girl.
8. Girls can also be the permanent members of the family.
1. Now a days sons or daughters have equal rights on the family property. Daughters have equal birth right to inherit joint Hindu family property.' A daughter always remains loving daughter. A son is a son until he gets a wife. A daughter is a daughter through out her life.'
ReplyDelete2. Early marriage of girls effectively ends a girls childhood, curtails her education , minimises her economic opportunities, increases her risk of domestic violence, and puts her at risk for early frequent, and very high- risk pregnancies,so we really require to change this practicies.
3 . According to the sources
" women are more likely than men to be caregivers. 20% versus 16% , respectively. So we need to change our thinking that a women are caregivers/nurturer better then men.
4. The dowry system can put great financial burden on the bride' s family. In some cases, the dowry system leads to crime against women, ranging from emotional abuse and injury to even deaths. Although Indian laws against dowries have been in effect for decades, they have been largely criticised as being ineffective.. So we need to stop this dowry practice.
5. Despite numerous campaigns and popular slogan over the years, the fondness for sons remains strong among Indian parents. Many of them continue to see boys as an investment and girls a liability resulted in about 63 million women statiscally
'missing' from the country's papulation so we need to change our mindset over the daughters also can b asset for the family and give equal preference.
6. Menstruation is a
phenomenon unqiue to girls . However, it has always been surrounds by tabbo and myths that exclude women from many aspects of socio - cultual life.such taboo about menstruation present in many societies impact on girls and women' s emotional state, mentality and life style and most importantly, health. The challenge, of addressing the socio - cultural taboos and beliefs in menstruation is further compounded by the low girl's knowledge levels and understandings of puberty , mentruation, and reproductive health. Thus, we need to follow a strategic approach in combating these issues.
7. Many factors hinder the participation of women in physical activity and their access to health care. a) the income of women in often lower than that of men and therefore the costs of access to physical activity facilities may be a barren. b) women often have a workload in the home and cate giving roles for other families membets which may limit the time available for them to engage in physical activity.Although in principle women should be encourages to increase their participation in physical avtivity.
8. Indian families are classified as patrilineal and matrilineal according to the family structure is conceptualized as the configurationn of role, power and status and relationships in the family which depends upon the families socio economic background. The girls are non - permanent members of the family because one day she has to get married and have to leave the house and she have to accept husband's families in hindu culture But todays the girls are equaly can decide whether she wants to stay with in laws or not.
All the above social practices are prevalent in our Indian society. And we could see that these practices are gender biased and special preferrence and treatment are given to sons over daughters . It is time that we should do away with ours superstitious mentality as well as with all these man made rules which are gender biased. Women should be treated equally as they have the same feelings and emotions and also have the same capacity as men in almost every aspect of their life.
ReplyDelete1. Both sons and daughters should get legal heirs of the family.
ReplyDelete2. Early marriage of girls is illegal and should not be encourage.
3. Women can also the caregivers or nurturers.
4. Practicing of dowry should be stopped as it affects the poor family of a girl and hampers the standard living of the society.
5. The mindset that sons are better than daughters should be changed as human being are born equal irrespective of gender.
6. Menstrual taboos and myths should be banned as it affects the emotion of a girl.
7. There should be no restrictions on physical mobility of girls but the government should take steps for girls' safety.
8. Girls are non - permanent members of the family should be changed as if the girls got married and have their own family still they should include them as the family members.
ReplyDeleteFor some society in our country especially the Hindu religion till date still believe that only boys should get the family property and not girls as girls are not equal to boys. Girls are made to get married first as they are temporary members in the house. Dowry system also create a lot of problems to the poor family and so there is an increase in the number of female infanticide. These practices should change and stop as girls should be treated equally as boys because children are the blessings from God.
Sons are legal heirs of family property : As per Hindu successions act sons are legal heirs of family property. But the act was amended and daughters are also given legal heirs of family property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls: Early marriage of girls should be stopped as it effects on girls health and emotion. It also effects on their education and they cannot become independent.
Men are caregivers : parents are giving education to both sons and daughters and both have the ability to work under any situation and have capability to take responsibility on their shoulder, so I feel parents should remove the mindset and give the opportunity to both.
Practice of dowry system: Dowry system should be remove from the society as it effects the poor families who couldn't effort and it also destroy the society.
Preference of son over daughter: I feel both son and daughter are equal in a family and both have a capability to work for family as well as society so parents should give preference to both not only stick on one gender.
Restrictions of physical mobility of girls: There should not be any physical restrictions on girls as now a days girls has more ability to do well in verious fields.

ReplyDelete1.In Hindu society sons are legal heirs of all properties,but to other societies both sons and day enjoy equally
ReplyDelete2.early marriage is one of the most incomprehensible issues faced by Indian society however this happens at a very early age usually at the age of 10/12. They were forced to tie such bond without their consent. There are various reasons behind it including illiteracy, poverty and traditional superstition.
3. According to the sources

4.dowry system is incontradiction to the law and equality among man and woman. It is well thought out as a crime, both giving and taking but that's not the case in our society for which out of the thousands of cases that are observed every year only few of them are reported and from that only a handful and brought before court.
5.Preference of sons over daughter-Preference of sons over daughter this is totally wrong parents should understand that the same mother give birth to both the child so both sons and daughter should be get same preference and rights.
6.Menstrual taboo and myths-Menstrual taboos and myths should be changed as it affects the emotions of the girls.

ReplyDeleteHolding that daughters cannot be deprived of their right of equality, the Supreme Court Tuesday ruled that they will have equal coparcenary (joint heirship) rights in joint Hindu family property even if the father died before the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005.A three-judge bench of Justices Arun Mishra, S. Nazeer and M.R. Shah said the provisions contained in substituted Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 confer the status of coparcener on the daughter born before or after amendment in the same manner as a son with the same rights and liabilities.
Key Highlights
Coparcener is a term used for a person who assumes a legal right in parental property by birth only.
The bench said, “the rights can be claimed by the daughter born earlier with effect from September 9, 2005 with savings as provided in Section 6(1) as to the disposition or alienation, partition or testamentary disposition which had taken place before December 20, 2004. Since the right in coparcenary is by birth, it is not necessary that father coparcener should be living as on September 9, 2005.”
The verdict makes it clear the amendment to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 granting equal rights to daughters to inherit ancestral property would have retrospective effect.
The apex court said the appeals on the issue were pending before different High Courts and subordinate courts and the matters have already been delayed due to legal imbroglio caused by conflicting decisions.
“The daughters cannot be deprived of their right of equality conferred upon them by Section 6. Hence, we request that the pending matters be decided, as far as possible, within six months,” the bench said.
The apex court’s verdict came on the issue whether the amendment to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 granting equal rights to daughters to inherit ancestral property would have retrospective effect.
In hindu society more preference are given to boy child and they are legal heirs of family property. Girls are suppose to be at home helping her mother. But I feel there should not be any difference between son and daughter. Both they have equal rights since boys and girls are educated and capable of working in every field.
ReplyDeleteIn all aspect of life a girl child should have equal rights,equal opportunities as boy.Gender disparity should not be encouraged.
ReplyDelete1.It is believed that sons are the rightful heir be it property or hierarchy even in olden times such beliefs should be discouraged and both gender should be given equal opportunity and rights.
ReplyDelete2.Child marriage is one of the evil practice that destroyed a child's life surpassing her childhood and education and is being treated as a grown up adult.
3.Men are believed to be independent and women to be dependent on her husband which is in accurate because most women are self reliance and are caregivers and nurturers to the family.
4.practice of dowry has been living for ages and still practice in most parts of the world prevalently in India and is believed to be part of traditions and religion and in many cases their lives have been taken because of this practice.
5.preference of sons over daughters where many daughters lives have been taken which is mostly seen in India which brought down the sex ratio in many States.But the government has taken strict actions against sex determination.
6.Menstrual myth has been existed till date in some parts of the world where a girl is prohibited to enter temple or to be in the kitchen but the fact is menstrual is a natural cycles in every women's life.
6.Restriction in mobility of girls especially at night is believed to be unsafe and often it is thought that she should be staying indoors rather than being outdoors.Self defence can be taught to both gender to enable them to move freely and safely.
8. women once born in a family is a parmanent member of the family even after her marriage and should be treated the same care and affection as the others male family members.
Whether boys or girls they should be given equal share of their parents property, abolish early marriage of girls as it hampers them ,equal rights on education should be given to both boys and girls,girls should be given an opportunity to take part in the upliftment of the society ,and should be given a platform to raise their voice in protecting their rights,in their in-laws house they should not feel a sense of insecurity,myths and taboos about menstruation should be stop or banned.
ReplyDeleteAccording to these statements mentioned above , I feel that sons and daughters should be given equal legal heirs of family property. Also education plays a critical role in keeping girls safe from child marriage. To change the practice of dowry parents should educate their daughters and teach them to be independent and responsible. Parents should also have the perception that girls too are permanent members of the family as they also have the legal rights. Restricting girls mobility is not a solution but giving them proper awareness and knowledge is important so that they could make their own judgement what is good and bad for them.
ReplyDeleteCertain Ideas and practices need to be change:
ReplyDelete1) Both sons and daughters have equal birthright to inherit the family property.
2) Girls have the right to choose who and when to marry.
3) Although men can provide assistance, women caregiver can spend more time in providing care and carry out personal care tasks more often than men.
4) Dowry is a Social evil in the society. It caused unimaginable tortures and crimes towards women.
5) Parents should not create biasness among sons and daughters. All are born equal and all share equal rights.
6) Menstrual taboos and myths present in many societies impact on girls and women's emotional, mentally and lifestyle and most importantly health.
7) Physical mobility of girls should be permitted.
8) Both sons and daughters are permanent members of their family since they were brothers and sisters from the same parents.
all the above social practices do happen alot before but now people have started to change their perspective towards girls as we have seen and heard that girls shines in every aspect of life but for some parents they still follow these traditional practices and I hope everything will change as we all the teachers we'll work hard together to bring the change in our students minds as they will be our future citizens and together we will together we can as we are known as the second parents of every child in our school or a country as a whole.
ReplyDeleteSons and daughters are equally importance in the family. So they should be given equal rights and equal legal heirs of family property. As for girls,early marriage and dowry should be stop, they need to get proper education to prepare themselves for a bright future and to maintain their health to become a healthy mother. Women are the hidden pillars who support the family, so both men and women are the caregivers who nurture their children and there should be no preference of sons over daughters. Menstrual taboos, restriction on physical mobility of girls and girls are the non permanent members in the family are not acceptable. Such feelings and practices should be eredicated forever.
ReplyDelete1. Sons are legal heirs of the family property:- Daughters also should have equal rights to inherit their ancestral property because they're born as children in the families,so why sons have always given privilege but daughters' rights are always deprive.
ReplyDelete2. Early marriage of girls:-
Early marriage should strictly prohibit as it hamper the health ang wellbeing of a girl.
3. Men are caregivers/nuturers:- Women also are always capable like men if chances are given to them.
4. Practice of Dowry:- Practice of Dowry is a social evil which encourage criminal activities which always lead to suicidal attempts and torturing of women in our society.
5. Preference of sons over daughters:- This kind of thought and practice always lead to hatred. Both child are born from the same parents,so they should get equal love and equal rights.
6. Menstrual taboos and myths:- Awareness should be given at every platforms especially in the rural areas and the illiterate people. Because most Women are being discriminate on a large scale in Indian families during their menstrual periods.
7. Restriction on girls' physical mobility:- Restriction on girls' physical mobility is another gender stereotypes which become a social and structural barrier. This lead to many negative impacts on the lives of girls and women. This kind of restriction should be remove and allow girls and women to participate in
all physical activities as they also have strength and courage as boys and men.
8. Girls are non- permanent members of the family:-
This kind of thought and practice have been subjecting daughters to negativity and discrimation. Both boys and girls should be love and treated equally in a family.
Both daughter and son must be equal , then inherited of properties also should be equal to both of them not only for son or daughter
ReplyDeleteChild marriage should not continue ,as we know early marriage can affect the health
Dowry system is still continue in some parts of the world ,we know dowry is a crime toward women.then we should not continue it as much as possible
Although men can assist more in the family , women also can caregiver and spend more time on some other personal task
Parents should not biasness among boys and girls.
Physical mobility of girls should be allowed
Parents should remember daughter also be a permanent member of the family
In most parts of our country, the social norms and practices mentioned above are still happening even when there are prohibitions. Those practices are reflections of neglecting the female gender as a child, a daughter, a woman and a mother or sister.
ReplyDeleteRegarding family property in some states, the daughters or sons are legal heirs of the family property.
Early marriage of girls is prohibited nowadays as per Child marriage act. It has to be completely abolish as it is still prevalent in some states. The girl can get married when she reach the right age. Regarding the menstrual taboos and myths, girls are considered as shame to society and unclean during menstruation. Some superstitious belief lead a girl to be secluded when she is having menstruation. This also has to stop. I think people have to get rid of their superstitious.
Nowadays, women are empowered with equal rights as men. A woman is capable of taking care of her family, apart from that she also have the capability to attend her job. Therefore, i think these practices needs to be prohibited. Every child belonging to any gender deserve the same respect, care and right to live.
A girl should have equal rights,equal opportunities as boy.We should change our mindset about girls that they cannot work like boys.
ReplyDeleteWhen society is built on inequality and discrimination, changes become necessary. The difficulty may lie in how the inequalities are framed as it may be imposed in the name of traditions and cultures. The fight against established systems which have been ingrained since time immemorial may prove to be a challenge, but it is a fight that is necessary for the betterment of the society. Gender stereotypes limits the depth of an individual and create certain labels that men and women need to cater to. It creates a violence against the authentic self. The inequalities, preferences or biases create a divide sprouting hostility and oppression, positioning power into certain groups. Such dominations are harmful as the ability to make decisions will be concentrated on the hands of the powerful few. It is important to be aware of the prejudices and to bring about changes when it is necessary, especially when it causes or brings about injustice.
ReplyDeleteIn our country girls are always considered weak by men but in today's day and age girls are more equal to that of men. All should be treated equality without any sort of discrimination and gender stereotypes.
ReplyDeleteIn our indian society there are many tribes that used this method for early marriage by using dowry,and looked down for girls,but this type of legal heirs may stop,let's give the opportunity to get the right to
ReplyDeleteequality between boys and girls and not look down for girls.
It is totally different in north East..large numbers of our people believed that boys are the non permanent members of the family and girls are the caregivers...But in my point of view both boys and girls are equally legal heirs of family property and both should take responsibility for caregivers/nurtures of their old-age parents when it is needed
ReplyDeleteIt is time to bring about changes in our country.Women should be treated equally as men.Everyone deserve the same respect,care and right to live
ReplyDeleteGirl child should be educated and equally treated in the society.
ReplyDeleteThe girl child should be given equal rights and opportunities just as boys.Taboos should be done away with as regards the girl child,and this can be achieved only when parents and the society change their mindset towards them
ReplyDeleteBoth boys and girls should be heirs,since they have important role in mankind.
ReplyDeleteIn most of the states in India whether in Hindu Christian or Muslims family sons are legal heir of family property.Not only sons daughters should have equal share of the family property as they are also members of the family too.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriages of a girl child is not acceptable.In our country most in Hindus community girl child is considered as burden for the family which will lead to the early marriage of a girl child.Early marriage is not good for the mental and physical well being of a girl child.As it was not the age for her to be a motherhood it will affect her mentally and physically.
Men are care givers/nurturers.In todays world not only men are caregivers and nurturers but women too.Women are not less compare to men in caring and nurturing their loved ones without men's help too.
Menstrual taboos and myths.In Hindus tradition women are not allowed to enter into kitchen during menstruation and in some parts of India women are not allowed to enter into temples to offer prayers during menstruation.This can be cure by mass education.
Sons are the legal heirs of the family property: this practice should be change because there should be no discrimination between a son and a daughter as they were born from the same parents so the property should be shared between the son and the daughter equally .
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls: this practice should be abolish or banned beacuse it deprived the right of girl to enjoy her childhood life and education young girls should spend their days in school to educate herself to become an independent women not in their in-law house and take care of the family and this also affect the health of the girls physically and mentally.
Men are caregiver/nurturers:
Usually women are the caregiver and men is the one who earn in the family but in this new generation as women and men are treated equal so women can be the bread-earner and men can also be a caregiver or nuturers.
Practice of Dowry : this practice need to be change as it affect the poor family in which the girls are I'll treated when the family members cannot pay the Dowry as demanded form the boys family this leads to the physical and mental health of the girl
Preference of sons over daughter: as we have seen that sons are more preferred than the daughter this need to be change as parents they should accept their child equally whether it's a boy or a girl.
Menstrual taboos and myths :
In Indian culture menstrual cycle is considered as dirty and the girls are restricted to enter the temples and the kitchen during her periods this practice should be change as menstrual cycle is a natural nature of the women
Restrictions of physical mobility of girls : As we have seen that girls are more strict to move out of their houses when compared to boys this should change and allow girls to involve in social , political interaction and allow them to move freely in public places or any worship place .
Girls are non permanent members of the family: As society lebel the girls have to move out of the house after they get married this need to be change parents should accept their children whether is a girls or a boy, married or unmarried if they want to stay in their home there should be no discrimination among children.
Daughter should be given heirs of the family because both boys and girls are the same they are human so it should be based on intelligence, courage and obedience to their families.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage should be stop on any society or group of people in general because they cannot afford their babies required like nutrition health and physical development and growth.
The chances should be given to both gender, but if we provide more opportunities to girls no doubt they will be care taker or nurturer.
Dowries is still practice in india today's especially in Hindu society, it is the negative impact for the poor people that they cannot pay Dowry for their Daughter, it may lead to suicide or force forces to suicide and turturing of women.
ReplyDeleteSon and daughter should be legal heir of family.
Early marriage of girl and practice of dowry should be stop.
Both men and women should be caregivers.
Both girls and boys should be preferable.
Menstrual should be secret.
Physical movement should be allowed freely.
We should understand that girls are also legal permanent member of family.
Girls also should be given equal opportunities like boys and also early marriage hampers their health as well as the society a whole. It's wrong to prefer boys rather than girls their should not be any discrimination for any individual.
ReplyDeleteChild marriage is a marriage of a girl or a boy before 18 years of age,early marriage is a very harmful practice that denies girl theirs right to make vital decisions about their sexual health and wellbwell.
ReplyDeleteGender inequality should come to an end. Men and women should gets equal share of property. Women should be allowed to take part in any social functions as men. etc....
ReplyDeleteGender stereotypes and bias are still prevalent in our country which needs to be get corrected. Preference of boy than girls and inheritance of the family are some of the examples
ReplyDelete1 In some of part of India where son are given all the hier of the family is because they are patriacal family. But in our part hier will always be a girl that is also the youngest one since she is supposed to take care of the parents when they grow old. But according to my perception both boys and girls should be given hier because they are both equal.
ReplyDelete2.Early marriage of girls means stealing away thier opportunity in everything since they cannot go to school and cannot do the things that they Want
3.not only men are caregiver or nurturers if women are given the chance and opportunity they also can do it
4.In some part of India dowry is being practice dowry is really a bad thing to practice because it seems like we don't respect our daughters so during their marriage taking dowry from the bridegroom is like selling always our daughter so I truly condemn this practice.
5.many family prefer sons over daughter because they feel that men are more superior that women but that's not true both men and women are equally superior.
6.when talk about menstruation in girls in public some feels shy. But menstruation is not bad yes it is secret but we need to talk about it so that our daughters will not feel bad on getting it and our sons will learn to respect the feeling of a daughter during her time of it.
7.girls are always given restrictions in everything you cannot do that cannot go there etc we should give equal restrictions to both boys and girls.
8.Girl are count as non. Permanent member because after marriage they leave the house. But girl should also be count as permanent member since they are both child of the family
Women in India have been discriminated against and denied the right to ancestral property. Even daughters have equal equal rights in the property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marraige of girls ends a girls childhood. So ending child marraige is the right thing to do. Girls around the world deserve to live full childhood, go to school and be free of the negative health consequences.
When demands for dowry are not met the bride is subjected to torture and often even killed and because of this system women are viewed as a financial burden on a family.
the old ideas ,belief and practice should be abolish especially when its comes to gender in equality that is boys is having more privilege then girls child both male and famale should be treated equally and should gaving equal appournity
ReplyDeleteWomen in India are discriminate due to some problems but now the government tried to solve some of these problems.Still the discrimination is not end.but l am lucky because in my state there is no such a problem.we are enjoying equal rights both male and female.
ReplyDeleteSome beliefs and practices sons are legal heirs of family property. Though it is an old custom now it has been modified and changed where daughters also should enjoy equal share of the family property. Early marriage is an obstacle/burden that prevent the girl to enjoy her right to study and to become independent of her own choices. Dowry is another problem that brings misunderstanding and looking down towards the poor family of the society. Therefore it should not be practiced. The family should thankfully and faithfully accept their children without a special intension of getting a boy or a girl because children are the blessing of God for the family. We should not think that the girls are non-permanent members of the family they are taking full care and support to the family..
ReplyDelete1.Most of the Indian societies follow this age old tradition of legal heir as their son but now time has changed. According to the law even daufhters get their share of property. So people should stop following this rule and consider their daughter also as their legal heir.
ReplyDelete2. Early marriage or child marriage is still prevalant in many parts of India. As the legal age of marriage for girls is 18 years so strict action should be taken against those who break this rule. This destroys a girls carrier, her dreams and opportunities.
3. Thinking of men as caregivers or nurturers should change. Because in today's world women are no less in competing with men. Theyare equally able to take care of themselves and their family. Women are now self-dependent, self-reliant, more capable and more empowered to become nurturers.
4. Practice of dowry is still prevalant in many parts of India. This old age custom should be banned immediately and strict action should be taken against those who practice it. Dowry system leads to unstoppable demands or needs of the bride's in laws and when the bride's parents cannot fulfill their unending demands it leads to mental torture of the bride as well as her parents, domestic violence, murder, divorce or even bigger crimes.
5. Sons are always preferred over daughters because people think that sons can take more care and responsibility than daughters and will look after the parents in their old age. This mentality is wrong. Daughters are no less in completing their responsibilities towards tgeir family or parents in particular. Infact, they are more capable and more caring than sons.
6.Menstrual taboos are still prevalent in rural India where most of people are ignorant and illiterate and fully rely on superstitious and belief,but this can be overcomed by awareness programme through different platforms. Bleeding aint wrong its a part of the body cycle. If they won't bleed they can't give birth to a new life. It is a blessing which men aint a part of. It is holy so women should not be considered as untouchables during their period.
7.Physical restriction here means that girls cannot enjoy as boys in terms of physical activities.This is wrong, and need to be changed, we should remember that girls too are human beings. Girls are strong enough and need space and time for doing activities for their health and well being.
8.The belief of girls as non- permanent in the house arises because in Indian socities once the girls get married she has to move out of her parental family and live with her husband and his family. This too need to change, though she moves to her in laws' house it is only because of the custom. We should remember that she was born and brought up in her parental house where she grew, learnt and shared experiences and should not be treated non- permanent members in the family.
According to me both son and daughter are legal heirs of family property because now a days both are equally capable.Early marriage should be stop on any society or group of people in general because they cannot afford their babies required like nutrition health and physical development and growth.Men are caregiver/nurturers:
ReplyDeleteUsually women are the caregiver and men is the one who earn in the family but in this new generation as women and men are treated equal so women can be the bread-earner and men can also be a caregiver or nurture. Practice of dowry should be stopped and strongly opposed. Preference should be given according to the capability and not on the basis of gender.
In our society or country till now also they believe that girls are not equal to boys .There should be no preference when it comes to sons and daughters. Girls are permanent members of the family.
ReplyDeleteTo me both son and daughter are the legal heir of family property . Early marriage of girls should be stopped. Man a ND women are caregiver and nurture. Dowry systems should be stopped.
ReplyDeleteSon and daughter are have equal share of the family property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriages of girls not justified , men and women are equal caregivers/nurtures. Practice of dowry system should be abolished. Preference for sons,and daughters are equal, girls are always permanent member of the family after marriage also.
Such kinds of ideas and practices require changes in order to create the right to live in safe and healthy environments and that group of people should have the right to cultural, political and economic development.
ReplyDeleteBoth son and daughter should be given equal heirs of family property. Girl should get equal right as boy so that they can stand on their on foot and also they can achieve their goal. Early marriage for girl is a curse as it effect their health. Practice of dowry should be banned in this modern age as it effect the poor family.
ReplyDeleteBoth boys and girls should be treated equally because previously the dynamics of our society were based on male dominance. Now the trend is being changed rapidly. Both boys and girls are respectable citizens of our society and have equal respect and rights.

ReplyDeletePeople feel that girls are more fragile compared to boys. You are correct if you treat them both equally.It is no longer known to be a man's world and we all have equal rights.
ReplyDeleteBoth son and daughter should be treated equally and received equal heirs from the family.Dowry system should be stop as it end up burden on the parents.
ReplyDeleteBoth boy and girl should be treated equally. Early marriage of girls should be stopped.
ReplyDeleteOur country,India is a country of diversity with different cultures,languages,lifestyles,religions etc.so peoples practice different types of living according to their custom and culture.some community make superior to their sons and inferior to their daughters.some cumminity practices dowry,child marriage etc which they are the evils in the society.Therefore in our modern times these practices should be abolish and give equal rights of their to both sons and daughters.
ReplyDeleteThe beliefs of girls are non permanent in the house, that's why girls were treated like a temporary guest. Parents think that there will be no benefit for giving education to the temporary members. Such types of low graded mentality has hamperd our society.
ReplyDeleteCertain institutions/ideas and practices require to change on the above statements because all the statements are more or less against girls, men are superior than women and so the need to change is very important so as to bring about equality in both the gender.
ReplyDeleteWhen looking from a Hindu perspective there is a gender discrimination because there is no equal share between son and daughter a boy is the heir of the property but while looking from my own community though I'm indain but there is no gender inequality because we have the equal share from our parent.
ReplyDeleteBoth sons and daughters should give equal family's heirs to them. Early marriage is not good for girls and their babies. Practice of Dowry in India it's a big problem for the poor families. Preference sons over daughters was in the past generation but in this generation is more or less the same. After marriage girls have to go to her husband's house but it is opposite to Khasi tribe in Meghalaya.
ReplyDelete1.sons are legal heirs of family property: this is not practice in our society. But those society who still having or practicing it should be change because sons and daughters are equal.
ReplyDelete2.Early marriage of girls :This practice should be stop because early marriage of girls can effect her health and life.
3.Men are caregiver/nurturers:This though should remove from our mind/though because both men and women are God creature.
4.Practice of Dowry:This type of dowry system should be change because it is effect to poor family.
5.Preferenceof sons over Daughters:This ideas should be change because both are equal. If we do like this it means that we love them inequal.
6.Menstrual taboos and myths:This practice should not be done because it will lead nowhere.
7.Restrictions on physical mobility of girls:We should not restrict girls because girls also has the power to do things like the boys do.
8.Girls Non-permanent members of the family:This practice should be wash away as it effect the women right.
1. Sons and daughters should benefit equally as heirs of the family property because they have the same parents and the same upbringing.
ReplyDelete2. It is an unhealthy practice.
3. Both men and women are capable of nurturing and looking after their parents.
4. Promotes partial treatment preferring sons over daughters just because of money.
5. Rooted in the dowry system
6. Menstruation is a natural process of the body and hence should never be considered as taboo.
7. This problem is rooted from the age old practice of sexualizing women. This can be changed by implementing proper sexual education in schools especially during preteen and teenage years kn school.
8. It is because the practice of the dowry system makes families feel like they are giving away their daughters to another family.
Daughters and sons are the legally heirs of the families properties. Old customs should be changed,child marriage and Dowry should be abolished as they are problems which bring anxieties to the parents especially to the poor and needy
ReplyDeleteSome society still believe that girls are not equal as boys, they believe girls only for loockafter there siblings, homework, and at last send to other family after marriage. Thats why they are away from school knowledge. All this kind of beleifs should be stop now.
ReplyDeleteNow a days girls are educated & workind every field like Rail Driver Lakra, an educated girl can educate her family to. So both girl and boy should get equal opportunity.
Both boys and girls are equally important in the family ,both of them were born and raised by the same parents,they share the same family bond so their must be an equal share amongst them.Early marriage hampers the health of the girls especially,because she is still young to attain motherhood early marriage sometimes lead to depression where they took extreme steps when they can't handle the bad situation they face as they are still young.man and woman are caregiver and nurturer because both are needed in the family to support the family.dowry system is a bad practice with this practice it makes the parents to prefer male child than girls because with girl child they have to spend lots and lots to get them married which really worsen the financial situation of the family who are poor.girl are permanent members of the family though they have their own children to live with but their maternal or paternal family are the first family in their lives so this they are permanent members.
ReplyDeleteIn India, discriminatory attitudes towards the female sex have existed for generations and is still prevalent till today. Although the constitution grants equal rights to both men and women, however it is not so in reality. There still exists discrimination, bias and exploitation of treatment towards the female sex. Certain ideas and practices needs to be changed in order to bring about gender equality in our societies. Early marriage of girls should be stopped as it is detrimental to their health and cause psychological problems. The beliefs and practices that sons are legal heirs and men are caregivers should be broken as girls are equally entitled to family property as well as women can provide and care for their children effectively as men do. Dowry practice has increased violence against women. This social evil results in preference of sons over daughters and girls are considered non permanent members of the family. Thus it is essential to promote gender equality to make our societies safer and healthier.
ReplyDelete1)This practice should change because there should not be any gender discrimination. In a family sons and daughters should be treated as equal. Daughters also have the right to get property.
ReplyDelete2)This practice should stop because a girl child is not fully matured physically, mentally, and emotionally for marriage.
3)This type of thinking should be removed from our mind because women are also capable of do so and sometimes they are better than men.
4)This practice is not good because it has bad effect to the girl's poor family.
5)This idea should be avoided because both sons and daughters are equally capable of doing everything. It is observed that sometimes the daughters are more capable than the sons.
6)This belief should stop because there is no logic behind these taboos and myths.
7)This practice should stop because girls should get equal opportunity to do their daily activities like boys.
8)This type of thinking should not take place. The girls should be given equal right in their parental house where they born and brought up along with their brothers.
Perhaps, Indian society suffered from many social evils in the beginning of modern or before or may in the present day also in some places in India like Dowry system, Child Marriage,and Sons legal heir of the family etc etc(mentioned above) but since the practice some reformers has been came out who were deeply influenced by the ideas and equality, humanism, rationalism of the western philosophers and started movement.
ReplyDeleteThey were expected to live as mothers and wives only, though in these role they were show a great deal of respect and honour. So, here also we have to follow the same ideas and have to practice right things, Mahatma Gandhi told we the sons of God, that means we are all equal so why not we share the equal rights, opportunity, practice In particular matters or in particular issue, we need to avoid discrimination in any field, avoid harassment (avoid dowry system), share equal parent's property whether it's daughter or son.

We live in the society where there is lot of differences from the rest of our country .In our khasi system it is quite opposit girls are having more previllages than boys sometimes boys are the temporary members of the family so some things should be done to provide them oppturtunity to raise thei status
ReplyDeleteBoth girls and boys should have legal heirs of family wealth no gender discrimination should be practice at home. Early childhood marriage should be stopped for the betterment of the girls health. Both men and women are caregivers /nurturers. Probably practice of Dowry must stop .Parents should love their children equally. Menstrual taboos and myths should not be practice. Both girls and boys are permanent members of the family.

ReplyDeleteThere are some society in our country they believed that girls are not equal to boys and sons are legal heirs of family property.such kind of ideas require change and legal heirs of family property should be both sons and daughters. Early marriage of girls should stop. Girls also have the right to live freely,enjoy their life and to educate themselves. Women are always know as care givers but in today's world men also can be care givers or nurtures. The practice of dowry in Idia should stop. This practice put a burden to girls parents. There should not be any preference over sons or daughters.parents should treat them equally. Menstruation is a natural process that talking place in a female body.do menstrual taboos and myths should be banned as it affects the emotions of a girl. Girls must get equal treatment from their parents. There should not be any restriction on physical mobility of a girl. Most of the Indian society they never accept their daughter as a permanent member of their family. It is the time to change this , parents must love their daughters and accept them to be a permanent member of family.
ReplyDeleteThere is no difference between sons and daughters because they are born from same biological parents. There should not be any partiality when it comes to distribution of wealth and property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriages of girls should be abolished keeping in mind the health consequences they will face in the future.
Men should no longer be treated as the sole bread earner because women can also be financially independent.
Dowry is a practice which robs people of their peace of mind. A girl's father tends to look at his daughter as a burden as long as she is not married because he has to pay for her dowry as well. This system needs to be stopped and abolished at the same time.
Daughters are at par with sons if equal amount of love and respect is given to them. There should not be a preference of sons over daughters.
Certain communities still consider menstruation as a taboo.However they should understand that this is a natural process and must not associate any myths or taboos to it.
From time immemorial, girls' physical mobility have always been restricted. They cannot go out at night,cannot come home late etc. It is high time that they should be treated equally with boys as girls also know how to take care of themselves.
The reason why girls are deprived of education is because they feel that they are non permanent members of the family. They feel that she is not going to contribute anything to the family. But in reality if a girl child is financially independent from the time she is staying with her parents, she will not have to depend entirely upon her husband.
Both son and daughter should be treated equally and received equal heirs from the family. In all aspects of life girl should be given equal rights and opportunities as both male and female are children of God so equality is of utmost important. As there is a saying that if we educate a women she'll educate the whole family. This means that female too is not lesser than male. Both of them are equal and should be treated equally.
ReplyDeleteBoth boy and girl are equal rights for legal hiers of family wealth no discrimination. Childhood marriage, dowry should be stop.men and women are care givers.both boy and girl are permanent be member of thier family.
ReplyDelete1.Sons as well as daughters should be legal heirs of the family. Daughters should not feel neglected and unwanted. They are no different from men. Gender equality should be practiced and enforced.
ReplyDelete2.Early marriages of girls is still practised in many parts of India even though the law forbids it.Girls are not a property .They have their rights. Engaging a girl to get married at a young age is the same as riping her off her legal rights. She has the right to expression and it is her choice when to get married. This crime section must be tacked carefully and urgently.
3.Men are branded as the caregivers Or the provider of the family. This belief or stereotype is completely wrong. In most households men are the bread earner of the family whereas women are confined to their kitchen. Just as we all say "women are equal to men",this practise condemns it. If women are equal to men then I think women should earn also. Men and women should work side by side to provide for the family.
4.though the practice of dowry has been abolished by the law, there are still some places in India that still practise it. In many cases, women (particularly from poor families) have committed suicide due to the problem of not being able to give her in laws what they demand. No women should ever be priced for her marriage.
5.it can be evidently seen that men are being preferred over women in India. Many infant daughters die or are being abandoned every day. Some are being sold off or tied into a marriage at a very young age. As compared to men in India, women are seen to be less educated and are malnourished. This act of giving men more superiority over women must be stopped.They must understand the fact that without women men won't exist.
6.it Is believed that women in their menstruating period are filthy and cannot enter a temple or come out of their room. This belief must not be practised because it'll only reflect how uneducated the society is. Menstruation is normal and no women should ever be ashame of buying pads or sanitary products in public places just because the society has some stereotypes about it.
7. Just as boys can move freely or take up any sport they want,girls can do it too.
8. After marriages,womdn are sent off to love with their husbands. hence they ate known as non permanent members of the family. but I personally think that that term 'non-permanent ' members is not right. It makes us feel like we're not wanted in our own house anymore. Women thought married is still a part of her family as she still bears her family's last name.
According to my understand girls also should get equal rights and equal opportunity because they are born in same biological parents
ReplyDeleteI think both son and daughter should get equal legal heirs of family property. Girls should get chance to persue her studies to achieve her goal and stand on their foot to work and become independent successfully to lead the society. Men are responsible for many things but women also do very hard to get success to maintain the family. Practice of child marriages should be totally stopped and the practice of Dowry also should be stopped as it's a burden on the parents.
ReplyDeleteI believe that both son and daughter should equally legal heirs of family property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls is illegal and should be stop.
Men and women should be equal care takers and nurturers.
Practice of dowry is a burden to parents who belong to the lower standard of the society.
All children are gift from God. Both are special so no preference should be taken.
Menstruation is a natural process,any taboos and myths attached to it should not be there.
Restrictions on physical mobility of girls is for their safety but too much is not good.
Depending on different culture girls are either permanent or non permanent members of the family
This isverry good
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of the above mentioned social norms and practices should be change because it shows partiality of sons while daughters are not equally treated in the family lineage So as both sons and daughters are the precious gift of God to parents that's why both should be treated equally. Some of these practices like dowry it affect the poor family especially those with many daughters ,early marriage it affect the physical and mental health of the mother and her children.
ReplyDeletesons are legal heirs of family property - This custom has to be change and I am seeing some hindus are overcoming from this customs and they are treating both sons and daughters equally in family property.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls- As I can see with the passage of times such kind of thinking is no more in existence may be in some parts of India especially in rural areas such practices are still in trend, but what I believe is people must overcome from such evils practices.
Mens are caregivers /nurturers-
Women have always been the majority of caregivers. Women are nurturers, often live longer than men, and often assume the caregiver role for their husbands or other elderly loved ones. But the truth is that many men are also caregivers these days.
Practice of dowry- In my opinion strict amendment must be there and the government must come up with that so that those who are in favour of dowry will get punished.
Preference of sons over daughters-
Common wisdom is that the preference for sons is motivated by economic, religious, social and emotional desires and norms that favor males and make females less desirable: Parents expect sons—but not daughters—to provide financial and emotional care, especially in their old age; sons add to family wealth and property ...
Menstrual taboos and myth-
People need to know that menstrual blood is not impure. Just like blood from any other part of the body, once out, this blood too starts decomposing and thus emanates an odor. During periods women are at greater risk of urinary tract infections due to dampness. we need to understand this is common in girls and accept it.
Restrictions on physical mobilities of girls-
In India, restrictions on girls’ liberty to move freely in public spaces contribute to school dropout and early marriage, and negatively affect girls’ health and wellbeing, from adolescence into adulthood. we must encourages them and allows them to move and teach them that they are no longer inferior to men.
Girls are non - permanent members of the family - Many hindus still believe that girls are not a permanent members of the family why because after marriage she will go to groom's family, but they need to change their thinking about girls and consider her as a permanent members of the family and lets allow her to visit home very often.
All the about norms are negative practice, still practice in our society.so we need to change such norms and promote equal treatment both boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in our country all this activities cited above are still following because most of the parent think that boys are better than girls and they did not get heirs from the family, because they are not permanent member , we should try to stop this activities because girls are also capable of anything to do if they struggle..
ReplyDeleteBoys and girls should be legal heirs of the family property. Early marriage is a burden that prevent the girls to enjoy her right to study and choice. Dowry is another problems that brings misunderstanding in the society especially between the rich and the poor. There should be no restriction on physical mobility of girls .
ReplyDeleteThis custom of legal heirs of family should be changed both daughter and son should have equally properties.. Boys and girls should have equal education.. Old custom like dowry should be stop...
ReplyDeleteI believe all boys and girls should be given equal rights and opportunities in every aspect of life.Early marriage of girls should be stopped as it may be a risk for her health and it also leads to increase in population.Women can be the best caregivers as they can take good care of the family better than men.Dowry should be stopped as it is a crime and every women will not be safe in every household.Girls cannot be a non permanent members of the family as their contribution towards the family is equal as boys gives.
ReplyDelete1) Both boys and girls should get legal heirs of family property.
ReplyDelete2) Early marriage should be banned and should not be practice as it lead a lot of problems to run the family.
3)Dowry is against our constitution so it should be totally banned.
4) Menstrual taboos and myths should not be discriminated as it is natural.
5) Girls also should include the permanent members of the family and should treat as equally.
Both sons and daughters should get the equal share as they are from the same parents.
ReplyDeleteChild marriage should stop and strict action must be taken as it impact the girls education health and so many opportunities
Dowry should be stop because it cause serious problems and became a burden for poor families
All these practices should change and stop.Girls should be treated equally.
Some of these practices like child marriage, dowry systems etc have been abolished by our constitution and regarding to boys as an heirs of family it lies on social belief and traditional customs of the citizens, so I from my side I suggest that the parents should treat their children equally without impartiality for both boys and girls and every society should change this systems of practices

ReplyDeleteThere should be equal shere I n all aspects
ReplyDeleteI believe that everyone, no matter the gender that they should be given equal rights and should be treated equally, whether it is giving preference to one child as this will only lead to hatred in the family and the feeling of "unfairness" between the children.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage of girls should be stop as it can effect the health of the girl. And the practice of dowry system should be stop too and many other cultural backward gender stereotypes. And these practices can only be stop by giving them proper awareness and an open mind to accept criticism and change.
According to hindu society sons are the legal heirs of family property. But I think both son and daughter should get equal legal heirs of family property. Girls should get chance to study completely and stand on their foot to work and become independent successfully to lead the society. Men are caregivers but women also do very hard to get success to maintain the family. Practice of dowry should get stop as it is a burden on the parents.
ReplyDeleteEarly marriage is an unhealthy practice as it denies the girl's right to education and deteriorate her health in the later stage of life.
ReplyDeleteBoth sons and daughters should be legal heirs of family property as they come from the same parents... Why distinguish between sons and daughters... human dignity is the same.
If there is no restrictions on the mobility of boys then why on girls... girls are no lesser human beings than boys.

ReplyDelete1. Both son and daughter are the gift of God,so parents should give equal right to property.

5. Preference of sons over daughters: - it is an anceint concept, both sons and daughters are the equally capable and have their own strengths and weakness, therefore equal preference should be given to both in all matters.
6. Menstrual taboos and Myths: - it is an natural occurance in women and it's stigma can be removed by educating and providing awareness to the people.
7. Restrictions of physically mobility of girls: - it should be abolished as girls also have the freedom to movement equally as boys inorder to make them more independent.
8. Girls are non-permanent members of the family: - girls will always remain a member of the family even after marriage, because a daughter will always be a daughter and a sister will always be a sister, her relationship with the family members will not change even after she marry and leaves her childhood home.
