Deskripsi

As stated in The Bible, Eve was created from Adam’s rib, so a woman must always be grateful, dependent and subjugated to a man (Genesis). In eastern rather to be specific in Indian culture also women remained subjugated under the dominance of a patriarchal society. They are supposed to remain under the care and guidance of their father, husband and son. This paper aims to analyse how a modern educated independent woman tries to defy the societal norm and how power operates through judiciary and it also exposes how through some hypocritical male chauvinists the voice of an independent woman is silenced.
