The University does not publish an official answer key for this paper. The answers in this volume are model answers, written to show how a full-mark answer is built. They are a study aid, not an authority on what an examiner marked.
The question paper reproduced here is the paper as set by the University of Mumbai at the May 2025 - 75/25 examination.
The law under these papers has moved. The Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Evidence Act were replaced by the BNS, BNSS and BSA on 1 July 2024; adultery (section 497) was struck down on 27 September 2018 and is not in the BNS. The Maternity Benefit Act, the Factories Act and the Equal Remuneration Act were repealed on 21 November 2025 by the Code on Social Security, the OSH Code and the Code on Wages. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929 gave way to the 2006 Act on 1 November 2007, and the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 to the 2015 Act on 15 January 2016. Each answer gives the law the paper asked about and the law that applies now.

How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q.1
Q.1: Answer any six of the following questions
12 Marks - 2 marks each
(1)What is the role of NGOs in protecting women's rights?[2]
Answer
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are voluntary bodies, independent of the State, that work for social causes. In protecting women's rights they act where official agencies are slow or absent.
Their role.
- Public interest litigation. NGOs take women's grievances to court. Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1997 SC 3011, was brought by women's groups after the gang rape of a social worker. It produced the guidelines against sexual harassment at work.
- Support under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. A registered NGO can act as a service provider. It records the woman's complaint, gets her medical help and finds her a shelter (section 10).
- Committees at work. Every Internal Committee under the POSH Act, 2013 must include a member from an NGO committed to women's causes (section 4).
- Dowry complaints. A recognised welfare organisation may complain to the court of a dowry offence (Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, section 7).
- Rescue and rehabilitation of trafficked women, and running shelter homes.
- Awareness and counselling, so that women know their rights and the forum to use.
Conclusion. NGOs bring women's cases to court, give them shelter and support, and sit on the bodies that laws create to protect them. They make the law reachable for women who could not use it alone.
