The status of an Indian
women in the Indian society is strongly connected to being family oriental, as
well as having big households and big families that come with it. Patrilineal has played a big part in
the Indian society and has also played a part in an Indian’s woman and her new
husband’s life. Indian families are
often classified as patrilineal due to how they use methods and a certain
system after a bride is married to a new man and into a new family. According to research, many families in the Indian society has grown because of
the patrilineal system. Though Indian women have been subjected to changes over
the years, practices such as Female Infanticide, Dowry, and Child Marriage
hasn’t slowed down in running it’s course in the Indian’s women society.
Students often learn about female infanticide in a
learning course such as social problems. Female infanticide is a big social
problem in India today. Female Infanticide is a crime against children (babies)
who are between the ages of 0-1 years old. Female Infanticide is a killing of a
newborn child that is a female. This crime is common for china as well. India
counts this crime as abortion according to facts and research about their
government. The reason behind female infanticide is mostly related to practical
and cultural rituals rather than it relating to religion in Indian. 
India is reported as
the highest country in the world that has dowry deaths. Dowry deaths are deaths
of married women who are murdered or driven to suicide by consistent torture
and harassment by their husbands. Dowry in itself is property or money brought
into a marriage by a bride to her husband. The transfers of Dowry are money,
gifts, and most importantly parental property. A married women having a dispute
over her dowry with her husband or in laws can put her in a very dangerous
situation, especially in her home. There are 1.4 deaths per 100,000 women in
India relating to dowry incidents. Dowry was reported as prohibited in the
Indian society in the year of 1961, but the issue still stands tall because it
has become am cultural aspect in the Indian society, especially for a man’s
benefit. In April, 2017, it was reported that at least 21 lives were lost to
dowry death in India. 
How
women are treated in Indian regarding to rape is a touchy topic. Rape is known
to be the fourth most common crime in Indian toward women. In, December, 2012
an Indian woman was ganged raped, and beaten with iron rods on the same bus she
was traveling with her boyfriend. As a result, the case, more women were
willing to report rape, but that hasn’t stopped the crisis at all. When women
are raped in the Indian society they aren’t necessarily treated fairly or with
comfort. One Indian girl reported rape and her family disowned her. In Indian
women reports rape every 15 minutes in a day. It is kept in mind that most rape
cases that women file a report on are not looked at or looked into accordingly.
India has been labeled as the most dangerous country for
women in the past decades due to multiple issues and unstoppable crisis. It has
been stated that the country is in denial about the fact that women are treated
poorly and incomparable to men in their society. Women in Indian aren’t
necessarily free, because they don’t feel safe or protected most of the time.
Even though women in India have learned to cope endless depression, and anxiety
due to how society and man treats them, it still isn’t right or serves any
justice for their way of living. The irony is that media coverage has helped
expose this issue, but what actions, what more actions can be taken into
consideration for the issues to completely stop?
