| dc.description.abstract | This research monograph presents a critical analysis of the right to divorce by Bangladeshi wives
under different personal laws. The research aims to examine the legal frameworks governing
divorce in Bangladesh and evaluate the extent to which they uphold the rights and interests of
women. The study begins by providing an overview of the various personal laws applicable in
Bangladesh, including Islamic law, Hindu law, and customary law. It delves into the historical
and cultural contexts that have shaped these laws and their impact on the rights of women
seeking divorce. Using a combination of doctrinal and socio-legal research methods, this thesis
critically analyzes the legal provisions and judicial interpretations pertaining to divorce rights for
Bangladeshi wives. It explores the grounds for divorce, the procedures involved, and the legal
safeguards in place to protect women's rights during the divorce process. Furthermore, the thesis
examines the societal attitudes, cultural norms, and gender dynamics that influence the exercise
of the right to divorce by Bangladeshi wives. It investigates the challenges and barriers faced by
women in accessing divorce, such as social stigma, economic dependence, and lack of legal
awareness. The findings of this thesis contribute to the existing literature on family law in
Bangladesh and provide valuable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and scholars. It
calls for a comprehensive review of personal laws to create an inclusive and equitable legal
system that promotes the right to divorce for Bangladeshi wives, aligning with international
human rights standards and principles of gender justice. | en_US |
