Summary:The work-family interface is a pivotal topic in contemporary discourse on women and gender dynamics, representing the evolution and development of gender roles in sync with modern advancements and evolving socio-economic paradigms. This study ventures into the nuanced complexities of the work-family interface among Muslim women in India, illuminating a previously uncharted realm. Employing a survey-based methodology, this research aims to unravel the intricate web of motivating factors propelling these women into the workforce, resulting in a delicate balancing act encompassing financial, social, and personal aspirations. Furthermore, it unveils a spectrum of challenges spanning traditional, cultural, political, social, and religious dimensions, which hinder their pursuit of work and endeavor from confining them within traditional family roles. By providing invaluable insights into the lived experiences of Indian Muslim women, this paper establishes itself as a foundational resource for comprehending their distinctive work-family dynamics, ultimately offering guidance for enhancing their socio-economic well-being and empowerment.
