520			_aSeparated and Divorced Women in India: Economic Rights and Entitlements examines the economic rights, legal protections, and social realities of separated, deserted, and divorced women in India. Based on a survey of more than 400 women across different regions of the country, the book analyzes the financial hardships faced by women after marital breakdown and the challenges they encounter in obtaining maintenance, child support, and legal remedies. The author critically examines Indian laws relating to maintenance, matrimonial property, dowry recovery, and women's economic security. The book argues that women often contribute significantly to family assets through unpaid domestic labor yet lack ownership rights in marital property. It advocates legal reforms, including recognition of community property rights and greater protection of women's economic interests. This work is an important resource for scholars and students of women's studies, sociology, law, gender studies, and social policy.
