Abstract
In Bangladesh the Hindu women are suffering greatly to seek divorce. As like as India and Nepal, Bangladeshi Hindu women cannot divorce as there exists no such legal provisions. But the situation is different in India because they have already adopted the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 which lays down the procedure for Divorce. In Bangladesh the Hindu women are also suffering greatly to seek divorce or to claim compensation from husbands. However, specific law on these issues is necessary.
