Main Body
Sexual & Reproductive Health: (1) Mean control over her sexual & reproductive faculties by women (UN Women). (2) Right of Body automy. Right Based Discourse: Many grainy these as a matter of moral & legally enforceable right of women. However,
Legal Norms: Acceptance of Poor Right to Women: Hindu Marriage Act allows restitution of conjugal relates. Exception of Marital Rape: under BNS/IPC erode bodily autonomy (section 375). Marital Rape split: built by Delhi HC. No legal right to contraceptives. No Redressal: order for unwanted pregnancies (MTPAct). (1) Right Based approach (JanaTail Report): (2) Mobile contraceptive at DHC. (3) Equal emphasis on male Sterilization as once effective women's sexual & reproductive Right must be served to build woman-led & women-owned development attain SDG-5 (Gender Equality).
Conclusion
Largely Bypassed: - No independent penducity of women in society & hence limited-right. Societal Norms: Patriarchy: oppressive women by denying sexual right. Full Acceptance of such patriarchic state of women right. Commodification of Women: a object of pleasure (son-meta reference). Lack of ethics: in society to grant equal right to women on bodies. Machinery for Childbirth: addon independent individuals in own right. (Eg. Recently seen in UP - 1 women had 11 children) women-owned development attain SDG-5 (Gender Equality)
