Anita Desai is an Indian novelist writing in English who is held in very high respect as an Indian author and has made it her aim in her writing to depict the challenges women face in India's patriarchal society. In a society dominated by patriarchy, not only are women subjected to oppression, but they also have their voices silenced. They are also treated as members of second-class citizens with no rights or desires. When a woman is shown to have any desire, society labels them as abnormal and works to guarantee that they endure a significant deal of suffering as a result. Because she does not have an independent identity, she is forced to live a life that is dependent on their husband. Anita Desai paints a picture of the status of women in her novels, which is most emphatically represented in her novel In Custody. Such a pitiful state of women in Indian society is the parameter that almost all women have to live with every day. Anita Desai portrays this status of women in a very realistic manner in her novels, especially in In Custody. The topic of discussion in the research paper titled "Gender Issues in Anita Desai's In Custody: A Critical Exploration" is the novel's female characters and how they manifest gender politics and how Anita Desai has tried to contribute significantly to feminist politics in Indian writing in English.
