Abstract
Every human being is born free and equal irrespective of male and female. So, the right of female is equally protected by existing laws, regulation and philosophy. If we look at the law of nature, the world is possible with the coexistence of male and female characters which is relevant even in animal domain. The absence of the union of male and female may stop the human domain and civilization. Thus, the women issue has equal value as of male to run society and civilization. Because of their mother characters, female have more value to run the earth smoothly. However, there is different argument of feminism jurisprudence which varies in accordance with liberal, radical, cultural and postmodern feminism. There are different wave of feminism jurisprudence like first wave, second wave and third wave feminism. As a separate movement of philosophy, law and justice, feminism jurisprudence emerged in 1980s to support women issues in law which is different than feminism movement. Feminism jurisprudence focuses on legal consequences to protect woman issue whereas feminism movement is as ancient as human civilization. Nepalese feminism jurisprudence emerged as a separate movement after 1990’s with the verdict of Supreme Court of Nepal.
