New Bihar domicile rule may bar married women from teaching jobs

Bihar has introduced a new domicile rule that may create obstacles for women who have married into the state and seek teaching positions. The regulation appears to tighten eligibility criteria for teacher recruitment based on domicile status.

The move has raised concerns about potential discrimination against married women entering the teaching profession in Bihar. Education advocates worry the rule could unfairly restrict job opportunities for those who relocated to the state through marriage.
