यत्र पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते ।
सर्वाः क्रियाः॥
Manusmriti, Chapter 3, verse 56
What it means
Where women are honored, there the divine rejoices; where they are not honored, every sacred act becomes fruitless.
A reflection
Where women are honored, life flourishes.
The verse makes the dignity of women a measure of the society around them. It draws a striking contrast: honoring women is associated with the presence of the divine, while dishonoring them renders even other noble acts fruitless. Its message is simple but powerful—how a society treats its women reveals the values it truly lives by.
