Status of Women in Medieval India | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

During the middle Ages, women's standing started to deteriorate. The Muslim era was prevalent throughout this time period. Women's life was drastically altered during this time period. They were seen to be inferior to their masculine counterparts. The birth of female offspring was frowned upon. During this time, the ladies were forced to deal with a variety of issues. Children marriage, the purdah system, sati, jauhar, and restrictions on girls' education were among the challenges that women faced, leading to a decrease in their status. Furthermore, elements were implemented that resulted in improvements in their condition. These include education, job possibilities, and skill and ability enhancements, all of which would make a substantial contribution to improving their lives. As a result, it is vital for leaders and reformers to establish policies that will help to eliminate the issues and impediments that women face. There are the several topics covered in article, significant problems faced by women in medieval India, elements emphasising women's position in medieval India, and importance of a Bhakti movement on the status of women.
