Q) Critically discuss various hardships faced by single mothers in Indian society, and also examine what institutional and legal support exist for them. (200 Words)
A)The natural guardianship of a minor was the father and after him "the mother" ,but in the absence of father however guardianship responsibility shifts to mother. But now a days single mother have continued to face bureaucratic red tape and harassment.
Single mothers are young and never married without high school education nor the expected parenting skills and she even face financial problems because of low wages for women as compared to men. Eventually sole mother's employment leads to slow economic development.we can say that she is vulnerable to the societal harassment.Middle class single mother is generally confronted with financial uncertanity due to divorce or lack of child support from child's father.
She fights all odds to lead a life of dignity and this stress will effect on child care and it weakens mother's immune system.absence of father aids in the difficulty of appropriate discipline. single mother live with the competing priorities of earning money and providing caring services to her child.And even in the cases of providing care she is being denied by the insurance policies and savings accounts as she cannot include her child under the nominee name without child father's approval.
A normal family should have father,mother and an offspring. But a mother alone can strive hard for the physical well being of a child but she cannot help her child's mental well being as he/she will feel alone and depressed without father in the family because she faces problem when applying for documentation starting from birth certificates ,school admissions ,application for passports. Most of these agencies insist on the father name being mentioned giving his permission.So in order the single mother get out of all these odds Institutional and Legal support should persist for her.
Institutional and legal support:
1) seeking higher education is not easy to cover high costs of college.Single mothers are eligible for some scholarships like -
i. College scholarships.
ii. Nursing scholarships.
iii. Children Scholarships.
2) Help from family courts.
3) Private child support agencies.
4) Pension for widow mother and single mother.
5) Legal seperation resources( incase of clashes ).
