Educated and working women are well respected and can make decision on household and community but in most cases they have to consult their husbands or in-laws before reaching to a final decision. The male members should be consulted because they generate or own resources to meet the household needs. It was widely reported that women having Pewa (private property) in hill communities particularly Magars and Gurungs, can influence in the decision making. In contrast, uneducated women completely dependent on the in-laws and absentee husband's patriarchal property live worst of all (Case 2).
