This is really a sad state of affairs. Widows have been suffering for a long time and the worst part is that there is no law to protect a widow's rights in India. I was trying to search for any recent laws, and could come up with nothing except this: http://www.xomba.com/gender_and_inheritance_law_reform_in_maharashtra thanks dr2dr, for your comment. It is true that women's rights need to be addressed in many countries! :-((

World rights organizations need to address this problem. Women's rights need to be advanced in many countries. Very disturbing website.
