摘要
Today, women and the queer community are liberating themselves from the shackles of patriarchy and the world is moving towards a more egalitarian outlook. The growth of individualism across the globe has led to the renunciation of gender stereotypes. The guarantee of protection of rights resonates with the existence of an individual irrespective of his gender identity. The article aims to analyse the existing legislations on maintenance in India for gender neutrality with reference to the progressive trends of the modern society which has witnessed wide acceptance of live-in relationships and the homosexual community, and also the changing norms of inheritance legislations.
