The Outsider

"The aim is not to Raise a voice, But to become a voice"

- Srishti Jaitwani

Each little effort may appear like a drop in a bucket at the time but changes don't happen overnight. It takes a lot of toil and a lot of toll on a lot of people. The genesis of that one big change that our generation is witnessing and the subsequent generations might most probably enjoy is that of women equality, the spectrum of whose definition has slipped beyond the four walls of workplace. It has become all encompassing and the judiciary of our country has intervened with a slight slap on the wrist type of a decision to stir away the redundant stereotype.

In its trailblazing decision that "reflects the sensitivity of a civilized society" our honourable supreme court has delved into the nitty gritties of the common Indian household, instructing the society in a very gentle and harmonious way on how to run their families.

“The apex court said that a daughter-in-law is to be treated as a member of the family with warmth and affection and not as a stranger with respectable and ignoble indifference. She should not be treated as a house maid. No impression should be given that she can be thrown out of her matrimonial home at any time," a bench of justices KS Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra said.
