摘要：This paper highlights the women care measures undertaken by the Central Legislative council to the whole of British India and by the Madras Legislative council to Madras Presidency till 1937 when provincial autonomy under the Government of India Act, 1935, came into operation. These councils had enacted some laws to assign some rights for women and to care for their well beings against uncivilized barbaric customs which were once the rules in Madras Presidency as in all other states of the British India. Legislations enacted by these councils rooted out the social evils of child marriage, slavery, inequality of women to men and immoral traffic of women in the society and they laid strong foundations for women's right today.
