Abstract: One vital component of the present study is women’s social freedom, which refers to women’s desire to be free from social taboos, connentions, rituals and roles, that provide them with lower status as compared to their male counterparts at least in Indian society. To quote M. Norris in this regard— “For centuries women have been viewed as the weaker, more vulnerable gender. They have been rendered inferior, not necessarily with their consent, but with considerable help from social constructs.â€1
