Challenges Faced by Hindu Women Awaiting Divorce: A Comprehensive Study

Abstract

This study aims to explore the multifaceted problems encountered by Hindu women during the period when their divorce is  pending. It focuses on legal, social, economic, and emotional challenges faced by these women. Legal challenges include  prolonged proceedings, high costs, and limited access to legal aid. Social challenges involve stigma, judgment from  communities, and lack of family support. Economic challenges encompass financial instability, unemployment, and loss of  spousal support. Emotional challenges include stress, anxiety, depression, and limited access to mental health resources. The  study also examines the effectiveness of existing support systems, such as legal aid, social services, and community support groups. Through a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the research provides a comprehensive understanding of the issues. The findings aim to inform policy reforms, enhance support mechanisms, and promote gender equality. Ultimately, this study seeks to create a more supportive and equitable environment for Hindu women  navigating the complexities of divorce
