Though they enjoy more freedom compared to their counterparts, women in the general population, they have no access to decision making concerning the household economy, even when buying their own clothes, saris. The reasons for this situation are listed: the patriarchal and patrilineal system of Santal society, protection of women and women's taxing life. Development does not always benefit women. It can make women's situation worse by depriving them of natural resources on which they depend, thus leading to women's degradation and the lowering of their position in the household and in the society.
