RIGHT TO EDUCATION OF A PREGNANT STUDENT

Abstract

Indian legal system is still weak as it is not fully developed to cover all issues related to people and society but we, the Indians, still have a faith in our legal system. From years to years and from time to time, several amendments have been made and new laws have been enacted and even the new ones are being enacted, not only for settling present problems but also for settling the upcoming issues in future. Legislature of any nation enacts laws mostly on social needs and it is also true that till date social needs are not exhaustive. Many issues related to social needs are still left untouched by the law makers and right to education of a pregnant woman is one of them. The authors through this paper want to draw attention towards this problem, which the women throughout the world are
still facing and remarkable thing is that not a single law is to protect them for this problem. The author in this paper has tried to point out the problems faced by the pregnant student, its solutions, and the response of legislature and judiciary in this regard in Indian reference.
