How Stridhan Empowers Women in Land Inheritance Issues
Women in Hindu society have historically possessed limited rights when it comes to ancestral land ownership. Unlike their male counterparts, they have not enjoyed equal access to land inherited from their ancestors since ancient times, largely due to the traditional concept of Stridhan within Indian culture. This custom has influenced the extent of women's rights in land inheritance. Legislation such as the Hindu Succession Amendment Act (2005) introduced a new principle of equality, ensuring that women receive the same inheritance rights as men, particularly regarding land.

The detrimental impact of aesthetic norms on emotional wellness
What are beauty standards and where do they stem from? Beauty standards are cultural beliefs that influence social power and dictate how individuals should look to be socially accepted. These standards encompass physical features like facial appearance, skin, and body shape, and can be either innate or alterable. Terms like "attractive," "pretty," and "good looking" are used to describe adherence to these standards. It can be challenging to determine which features can be changed and which cannot. Not conforming to societal beauty standards by refusing to alter one's appearance is often viewed as a moral failure. For instance, wearing makeup is not a natural or biological choice, but rather influenced by current trends.
