Dear Comrades,
In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has categorically held that a married daughter cannot be excluded from compassionate appointment merely because of her marital status. The Court has rightly observed that marriage does not sever the bond between a daughter and her parental family, nor can it be presumed that a married daughter is no longer dependent on her parents.
This progressive verdict is not just about compassionate appointments; it is a powerful affirmation of gender equality, constitutional justice, and social reality.
📢 We strongly urge the Government of India to immediately amend the definition of "Family" in all Central Government service rules, including CCS Rules, Pension Rules, CGHS, LTC, Compassionate Appointment Schemes, Welfare Funds, and all other employee-related benefits, by explicitly including married daughters on an equal footing with married sons.
❓ If a married son continues to be recognized as a member of the family, why should a married daughter be treated differently?
The time has come to remove outdated and discriminatory provisions that are rooted in patriarchal assumptions rather than constitutional values. Equality cannot be selective. Justice cannot be conditional.
👩⚖️ A daughter does not cease to be a daughter after marriage.
👨👩👧👦 Family is defined by relationships, responsibilities, and realities—not by gender or marital status.
✊ Let this historic judgment become the foundation for comprehensive reforms in all government policies and service rules.
No More Discrimination. No More Double Standards.
Amend the Definition of Family Now!
Equal Rights for Married Daughters in All Central Government Rules!
🔥 Equality Delayed is Equality Denied! 🔥
