The culture of this land does not allow women to come forward and live their lives according to their own will. But then again neither democracy nor economic growth has been the part of the culture of this area. However, the changing dynamics of the world suggest that we incorporate these fundamentals so that our society could develop and grow. Likewise, our leaders and authorities should also focus on women, provide them with a platform to come forward and become stakeholder in the development of this country. It should be realised that there are many aspects of our culture which still dictate us to remain in the dark ages. It’s time we let go of these draconian laws and help bring prosperity in this country.
