Main Body
Traditions impede change because of the following reasons:
SOCIAL RELIGIOUS REASONS:- A change may violate some religious principles or beliefs. E.g. widows of menstruating age shaded not enter all the deity is a celibate.
SOCIAL RIGIDITY:- Social norms project girls might prevent up [Hijab] e.g. Girls in Karnataka [years that] boys would state if they don't cover their face with hijab
HISTORICAL LEGACY:- Since a long time, Hindu women have been applying sindoos and observing Karvachauth for the health of their husbands.
ECONOMIC COMPULSIONS:- to collect revenue prevent the state government from cashing from the business of liquors.
LACK OF ACCOMMODATIVE SPIRIT:- prevent the society from accepting new norms like semi-sex marriages, inter-faith marriages.
LACK OF INCENTIVES:- to switch to crop diversification make the farmers grow crops like paddy and wheat for which MSPs given.
To change these customary old practices, a social legislation can be instrumental:
REASONS:-
When society itself develops a framework to bring changes in its practices, the new framework is then well-deliberated and more acceptable to the members of the society.
Violation of legal legislation can lead to social boycott.
However, since social legislation is not enforceable by law, hence it is not binding on public as per law.
At max, social boycott can occur for disobeying social rules but no legal punishment can be given to farmers if they do not stop growing paddy, for example.
Thus, social legislation works well only if it is accepted by all members of society and accommodates everyone's needs.
