The Kerala High Court recently came down heavily on the State government for citing patriarchal notions to deny a father's Freedom Fighters Pension to his daughter. The single-judge Justice Devan Ramachandran, while slamming the state government, said that the state's decision smacked archaic patriarchal notions. The high court said that the state government's decision was based on the grounds that two of the woman's brothers were in a position to take care of her.
