Women are an important element of our society. She is an embodiment of unity, care, love, compassion and even more which makes her unique and special. In a society which is even now dominated by the strongest gender ‘male’, she still plays many vital roles. In spite of all these uniqueness she is still taken for granted by many sections of the society. Gone are the days where we considered ‘Yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra Devata’ and now the scenario is that we worship a lot of goddesses and on the other hand women are harassed, abused and ill-treated. Right form birth a women faces lot of disparity like gender bias, educational bias etc which extends throughout her live in forms like dowry, stalking, sexual abuse, bullying etc. It is high time that we must make concerted efforts to empower women in all aspects so that she can go hand in hand with men to transform the world into a better one. Empowerment of women is a high priority social mission which unfortunately is limping in its achievement. The complex task of educating, enabling and empowering millions of women who are voiceless and powerless in their homes, workplaces, offices and society is a task which cannot be accomplished by a single agency overnight, but should be the collective effort of people, agencies and Government authorities. A single antidote that can work miraculously by instilling attitudinal changes, confidence and bring gender equality and justice is unquestionably- Education. Education, to be precise legal education will help in creating legal awareness among the women which undeniably will help her to break the invisible handcuffs of slavery which she has been wearing since time immemorial. The current paper is intended to give an insight into the need of legal education for women with impetus on the relevance of understanding legal provisions for married women to save them from problems related to dowry, bullying, body shaming etc which every women faces in her life after marriage and never reports thinking of the society and family statuses, making herself more vulnerable to even greater harassments.
