- Summary:
- "Gender Implications of Tribal Customary Law" should be read against the backdrop of renewed calls from many tribes to strengthen the customary law regime among the tribal communities of North-East India. The contributors to this volume examine the changing status of women in the interface of the customary law with the forces of modernisation. The distinct origin, practice, and prevalence of tribal customary law is outlined here, with a complete analysis of the role played by women in moulding lives, guiding families, and building societies.
