3- Decision of divorce should not be documented in absence of the concerned wife.

4- Blood money of women should be equal to that of men.

5- Prohibition of early marriage. Legislation should fix the marriage age at 21 for both sexes.

Also you are kindly requested to write an article in relation with Retirement Law.

Retired workers are discriminated
