The women of today are opposed to polygamy. If wife is supposed to be loyal to her husband throughout her life, why should not husband. Accordingly women in Hindu society now demand end of polygamy.

After marriage, she now demands right to be consulted in all walks of life. She feels that in family affairs she should not be ignored or simply informed of the action which has already been taken. She now wants to be a partner in all decision-making processes in the family. She now also challenges arguments put in favour of child marriage, ban on widow re-marriage and Sati system. She feels that child marriage adversely effects her health and burdens her with responsibilities which can easily be avoided or postponed for quite some time long.

Then she argues that if man position of women in can marry after the death of his wife, then why should not a woman after the death of her husband. Then it is also argued that if on the death of his wife, husband does not bum himself alive, then why should she Sati herself after the death of her husband.
