Delhi High Court Says Motherhood Cannot Justify Workplace Disadvantage

The Delhi High Court considered how women should be treated after maternity leave.

It said becoming a mother must not hurt a woman’s career.

A woman’s job conditions include more than her title and salary.

They also include her duties, rank, manager, and responsibilities.

She should still be considered for appraisals and promotions.

Keeping the same job title and pay is important.

However, an employer must not make harmful changes to other parts of her job.

The court said motherhood cannot be used as a reason to treat a woman unfairly.
