Question

Differentiate between:

Traditional woman and Modern woman

Distinguish Between

Solution

  Points Traditional woman Modern woman
(1) Meaning Initially, traditional women had access to education, but this declined over time. Modern women have significantly improved access to education, supported by legal and social reforms.
(2) Right to Marry They enjoyed some early autonomy in marriage, which was reduced by practices such as child marriage. Their marital rights are enhanced, including legal protection against child marriage and support for widow remarriage.
(3) Social and Religious Rights Traditional women were active in early Vedic social and religious spheres but were later restricted to household duties. Modern women are active in public life, engage in various professions, and participate more inclusively in religious activities.
(4) Legal Rights Their legal rights were limited; they were dependent on male relatives and had no property rights. They have enhanced legal rights, including property and inheritance rights, and are protected against discrimination.
