Women, half of the world population, have been subjected to various kinds of harassment. Traditional society looked at women as a prey, motivator, temptor, therefore, they were secluded, excluded and attached social stigma. The society has been very harsh towards women particularly widows, who lost their husbands and live with out re-marriage. They have been ill-treated, insulted, molested and considered them as `amangalis` and bad oman. The cruelty to widows has been very severe if they belong to socially and economically well-off.
