Other important laws discussed included the Hindu Marriage Act, which addresses issues related to marriage and divorce, and provisions under sections 85 and 86 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), offering legal recourse for women in cases of domestic violence.

She emphasized that understanding their rights is the first step toward empowerment and ensuring justice. The event drew a large audience, including women from the local community, who actively participated in the discussions that followed the performance.
