Book Description
About the book

Women form half of the population of the world and share one percent of the resources. In India Women are born to suffer till their death. The sufferings of women are doubled if they happen to be widows in the Indian soil. A woman is surrounded by the culture that seldom she can come out from this. Though social change is very fast due to the growing globalization few areas remain unchanged and one of the areas where the change is very slow is the marriage and related customs. Society is not positive even today for widow remarriage. Setting apart the laws societal norms are strong here that a widow has to die as a widow whatever her age and surroundings be. The widows in India are one of the categories of women who are not given importance by Women's Studies' Scientists and Sociologists. The book Widows in India fills this gap through this study. This study, which is conducted in Tamil Nadu, highlights the living conditions of widows of all age and income groups. The book gives several case studies, which is an eye-opener for academicians and all who are interested in women's welfare especially that of widows.
