Women constitute one-half of the world’s human population and played a vital role in socio-economic functioning of the society. As a matter of fact, since the inception of human civilization, women have been an integral part of nature, society and culture. Yet, in every patriarchal and patrilineal society, the contributions of women are underestimated and marginalized. Being characterized by tradition of sex discrimination, this is true even for the Anal women. The Anal society has the same patriarchal and patrilineal system, which discriminate women one way or the other, which affects the status of women. Customary law which is an integral part of the Anal society does not treat women equal to men in status concerning socio-economic, political, religious and cultural life. Man has the assertive manipulative power in almost all spheres of life in Anal society. By looking into those customs and certain other aspects, this paper in an attempt to highlight the status of women in the changing Anal society.
