In Bangladesh the personal laws are not reformed along with the time. The law which has been old of thousand years how can it match with modern society? As of human being the women also entitle equal right, which the personal law did not realize. It is common knowledge among those reasonably acquainted with law that women are greatly deprived of their rights within the laws that govern crucial aspects of the man and woman relationship: marriage and divorce, custody of children and guardianship rights, alimony and maintenance for divorced women as well as property right. The women have been in total subjugation in male-dominated patriarchal societies. It has been a “natural law” to regard women as the inferior sex and for them to submit to male authority for the smooth functioning of society in its day to day progress.
