The present study focuses the socio economic living conditions of widows;-the problems faced by widows and the factors responsible for her predicament and the manner in which they should attempt to overcome in Kallikkad area. This study also tries to find out the consequence caused by various kinds of deprivation to the widow herself, her family and to society in general. Widowhood provides us not only with the adequate understanding of the magnitude of the problems and its prospects in future, but also deals with the various ramifications and implications of widowhood and the state of deprivation faced by them. So far most of the studies undertaken have examined only the socio-economic aspect of the problem. Hence, this study makes an attempt to understand the sociological implications of widowhood, particularly the deprivation faced by a widow in the economic, social psychological and cultural sphere.
