Abstract
research paper delves into the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of
Godmen in India and examines it through a gender lens. Godmen, also known as
spiritual leaders or gurus, wield significant influence over their followers, often
with implications for gender dynamics in society. This study aims to shed light on
the socio-legal aspects of this phenomenon from a gender perspective, analyzing
the role of these new religious formations in reinforcing or challenging gender
norms and the legal challenges and implications of their actions. It also looks
through the obligation of the state in contemporary times to provide safeguard to
its citizens from the debilitating effects of these new religious movements.
