I will give you some pointers.
Although the role of women traditionally has been to stay home marry at a young age, and take care of the family. That is changing.
Now, more than half the women above 18 are educated. They have jobs. Marriage age is increasing. They have more freedom. They still take care of the family but that is not their only job. They earn money. It used to be that when the husband died the women would be cremated along with him or made to live as if nonexistant. They had no rights they could not marry. Their children would be taken away. THey could not have jobs. NOw if the husband dies, the widow is treated just as any other person, they have all teh rights that they did not have before. THis practice was for Hindu women not Muslim. THere is still discrimination but women are more powerful and equal than before.
