This study critically examines the intersectionality of gender, caste, and class within the framework of Indian laws through a feminist lens. Despite legal reforms targeting gender-based inequalities, the experiences of women, especially those from marginalized communities, necessitate a more thorough analysis. The research focuses on key legislations such as the Indian Penal Code, the Dowry Prohibition Act, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, scrutinizing their intersection with social hierarchies. Employing an intersectional feminist perspective, the study explores how women from diverse backgrounds navigate the legal system, emphasizing the distinct challenges faced by Dalit, Adivasi, and economically disadvantaged women. The research also aims to evaluate the efficacy of legal provisions in addressing multifaceted discrimination, encompassing issues like access to justice, representation, and cultural biases entrenched in the legal system. By delving into these complexities, the study contributes to the ongoing discourse on feminist justice within the Indian legal context, advocating for a more inclusive and intersectional approach in both legislative frameworks and their implementation. The findings aim to offer insights into gaps and challenges within the current legal structure, presenting recommendations for a more nuanced and equitable legal system capable of addressing the diverse needs of women in India. Ultimately, the research seeks to pave the way for a legal landscape that reflects a deeper understanding of the intersectional experiences of women and actively works towards their empowerment and justice.
