ABSTRACT
Women are often considered a vulnerable section of society. They require special legislation, provisions, and exemptions. Although such measures may appear to violate the principle of equality, they are often necessary. Many laws have been enacted to protect women's rights, and various provisions have been introduced for this purpose. However, with the increasing involvement of women in socio-economic activities, such legislation, provisions, and exemptions are sometimes being misused. False claims are made, and false evidence is presented. These exemptions may contribute to an increase in female criminality, and habitual offenders may be encouraged. Therefore, misuse needs to be addressed, and any unfair advantage should be prevented. This paper focuses on how these provisions are misused and the consequences of such misapplication. It does not recommend eliminating special exemptions but suggests that they should be applied with caution and care, so that justice can be ensured for genuine victims.
