"The three-week tournament is already a big deal in India, involving big cricket names and big money. The first-ever Women's Premier League (WPL) was confirmed as one of the most lucrative female leagues in the world before the first ball was even bowled, second only to WNBA basketball" (par. 8). "The women's league is also expected to attract a more diverse pool of sponsors, Rao said, pointing to the fact an Indian cosmetic company, Lotus Herbals, secured top spot on the Mumbai Indians' jersey. The female cricketers, a mix of Indian players and international ones, are also benefiting from more lucrative pay days and increased exposure during the league's first...more

"On 4 May, the same day that the women in the video were attacked, two Kuki women, aged 20 and 24, were working in a carwash in a village 20 miles away when a braying, angry Meitei mob, armed with knives and sticks, came hunting for them. Eyewitnesses and relatives told the Observer that the two women were thrashed and gang-raped, goaded on by Meitei women in the mob. 'They were like beasts. I cannot comprehend how someone can be so brutal,' said one co-worker. 'The most shocking part was the women in the mob who were shouting slogans: ‘kill, kill these tribals’ while they were being raped.' The two...more

"As footage emerged last week of two women in the state of Manipur being forcibly stripped, paraded naked, publicly molested and allegedly gang raped, everyone from prime minister Narendra Modi to the chief justice of India publicly expressed their shock and disgust" (para 1). "Since violence erupted in the north-eastern state in early May, between the majority Meitei and minority Kuki tribes, activists and academics believe rape and sexual violence has been systematically used as a weapon in 'revenge attacks' against women from the Kuki community by Meitei mobs" (para 3). "The use of rape as a weapon has been systemic, academics claim. On 4 May, the same day that...more

"'The narrative around what’s really been happening in Manipur – the heinous crimes committed against the Kuki community, the targeting of Kuki women, the use of rape as a weapon by Meitei mobs – all carried out with impunity by these groups, has been kept silent and concealed by the state,' said Kham Khan Suan Hausing, a professor of political science at the University of Hyderabad. 'It wasn’t until this video went viral that this overzealous attempt by the state to control the narrative has finally been exposed.' It was only last week, after the video of the women being abused began trending and the prime minister spoke out, that...more

"Community of property is of great relevance in a country like India, where women’s avenues for asset acquisition are limited. Women do not typically inherit from their parents and due to their low labour force participation, often lack sufficient earnings to purchase property and other high-value assets" (par. 7). "Our analysis shows that only 7% of married women own land in landed households. The comparable number is 93% for currently single women. Presumably, the currently single category is largely comprised of widows who inherit their husband’s property" (par. 8). This suggests that women are able to receive inheritance (IME - CODER COMMENT).

"In short, the Madras high court held that a wife as a homemaker is entitled to an equal share in marital property as she has performed household chores round the clock, thereby enabling the husband to engage in gainful employment and accumulate sufficient savings to purchase property" (par. 3). "Thus, as a matter of economic justice, both spouses should be the legal owners of property and other assets acquired during marriage" (par. 5). "Broadly, there are community property and separation of property regimes. In community property, all assets acquired during marriage are treated as belonging to both spouses. Assets acquired prior to marriage or inheritances received is considered individually owned...more

"In the regimented life of many Indian women, the idea of getting out of the house and hopping on a bus to take a break resides in the realm of fantasy. First they need permission, and then money for the fare. But the state of Karnataka in the country’s south is changing that. While some of the state’s 35 to 40 million women will still need permission to use public transport, they won’t need to ask for funds to cover the cost of a ticket. The state government launched free bus travel for women and transgender people on 11 June. Women can now board a bus any time, any number...more

"When Ajita Topo, a cook in an affluent neighborhood in Delhi, leaves work in the evening, she holds her bag like a shield against her chest, keeps her fists clenched and carries a black umbrella with a very sharp end to ward off a possible attack. She makes sure to wear lots of layers—no matter how hot it is—to deter someone from trying to grope her chest, and secures her bun with a sharp metal stick as an additional weapon. Topo isn’t being paranoid. Last year, she was followed by two men when she left work after 10 p.m. She managed to scare them away by shouting as she passed...more
