The concept of gender justice indicates a comprehensive scheme of protecting the class of women. The Sub-ordinate gender is protected from exploitation and denials inflicted by dominant gender through gender justice. It nut-shell, it means participation of women in decision making process in all walks of life and sharing of opportunity with men. The Suprema-lex of India along with some other legislations contain a lot of provisions to bring and ensure gender justice in India. The Constitution in its preamble manifests the concept of justice, equality, dignity and fraternity. Other legislations like IPC, Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 etc. are very much found as a shield to protect rights of women and ensure gender justice in India. However, practically these laws have been proved to be inadequate to protect women from evils and vices practiced in society. The author through the present article tries to analyze various provisions of law and legal system dealing with the issue of gender justice with an effective suggestion.
