Position of Women in Manusamhita
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Manusamhita is well known as a book of laws and orders which were usually followed during the post Vedic era in the ancient Indian society. It was composed by Manu during 400 BC to 400 AD reflecting not only the status of society but also the status of women in that erstwhile classed society. Then the women were the victim of the existing crude castism, gender bias and mastery of male community. They were treated as second class or inferior peoples of society in every stages of their life and were dominated by the father, husband, son and other males of the society. The present paper deals with the status of women in the society during that period.
