Abstract
The study aims to explore the involvement of Muslim
women in gainful activities and uplifting their socioeconomic
conditions. The paper is based on primary
data, collected through questionnaire and observation
of Muslim women from Biratnagar metropolis. The
study revealed the involvement of Muslim women in
lucrative economic activities has augmented their
socio-economic conditions. Though their involvement
in economic activities is appreciated by their society,
they are not reciprocated accordingly to their efforts.
Due to lack of education and cultural practices like
divorce, early age marriage, the number of children
secludes Muslim women from enjoying full-fledged
empowerment.
