      abstract = {This book provides deep insights into the wide-ranging  issues linked to gender, law, and social transformation in  India. It focuses on women-centered laws as well as the  violence of unequal and discriminatory social order. It  emphasizes violence and the neutrality of laws that sustain  the status quo and perpetuate the stereotypical notions  related to womens condition. Based on the first-hand  experience of laws and their nuanced understanding, the  essays highlight the rules associated with the private and  the public domains. The chapters in the volume analyze  various statutes and their enactment related to domestic  violence, dowry crimes, sexual abuse at home as well as  sexual harassment at the workplace, child marriages,  education, property rights, trafficking, prostitution,  honor killings, and armed conflict. The book is essential  to the academics and researchers in the disciplines of  social sciences, gender studies, law, and the government  and policy-makers for making meaningful interventions.},
