The popular image and perception of the tribal women is that of being better off than their non tribal counterparts. There is no child marriage, no stigma on widowhood. She enjoys the right to decide about her marriage, etc. Instead of dowry there is bride price indicating, high social status of the tribal woman. A tribal woman can divorce and remarry easily. She earns and is, therefore, to a great extent economically independent. A higher social status to women was tharus of U.P and Nagas and Garos of the North East (Furer Haimendorf, 1943).
