women since ages were considered inferior to men, so all the taboos got associated with them and they were the ones who had to face injustice, violence and discrimination. but know as the society is changing and most of the people are educated and thus aware of this, the taboos are now not that influential and prominent. women are also taking up equal responsibilities and opportunities and are seen equal to men
