“Legally Yours: Every Woman’s Guide to Her Legal Rights” by Manasi Chaudhari is a potent tool for women to comprehend and claim their rights in a nation where legal processes can seem complicated and unapproachable.

This groundbreaking book, the first of its type in India, was published by HarperCollins on May 11, 2025, with the express goal of demystifying the rules that have a daily impact on women’s lives.

Award-winning attorney Manasi Chaudhari, the creator of Pink Legal, a platform recognized by UN Women, provides insight into issues that many women encounter but aren’t always sure how to handle. What would happen if someone threatened to publish your personal images? Does a live-in relationship have legal recognition? What rights do you have following a divorce or with regard to ancestral property? Is a prenuptial agreement something you should sign? “Legally Yours” gives women a voice and encourages them to take action in a culture where quiet is often the default reaction to injustice.

This book discusses legal requirements using straightforward, jargon-free language and real-world situations, rather than just listing them. The book covers a wide variety of topics, from understanding reproductive rights and internet safety to addressing domestic violence and job harassment. It is intended to serve as a reference for all women who want to be educated and protected, not only those who are in legal difficulties. The book turns legal knowledge into a daily tool of empowerment by outlining realistic and understandable legal remedies.

Chaudhari is driven by her own legal experiences. Throughout my legal career, I have seen several instances when distressed women were unaware of their rights or that they might file a lawsuit against their abuser. As a result, they suffered in quiet,” she claims. Her message is quite clear: the first step to empowerment is being aware of your rights. She suggests acting now rather than waiting until it is too late. “Prevention is preferable to cure when it comes to justice.”

HarperCollins India Commissioning Editor Ridhima Kumar discusses how the book changed the way she views the law. As a self-assured, self-reliant woman, I believed I understood my rights, but I soon discovered how little I really know. For this reason, I think “Legally Yours” ought to be in every house. Although it is designed for women, she emphasizes that men would also gain from reading it, particularly if they want to stick by and support the women in their life.

In India, Manasi Chaudhari is a well-known legal expert. She graduated from the University of Oxford with a master’s degree in law and finance and has worked in lesser courts, the Supreme Court, and the Hyderabad High Court. Through captivating, understandable advertising, she often works with police agencies and international businesses like Meta, Puma, and Tinder to increase legal awareness. Leading media publications including The Times of India, The Hindu, NDTV, Cosmopolitan, and even NASDAQ have acknowledged her work as one of India’s top legal influencers.

“Legally Yours” is a movement for legal empowerment more than only a book. It exhorts all women to never be content with quiet and to always ask questions and seek for solutions. It serves as a blueprint for daily strength, a guide for justice, and most importantly, a reminder that you have the right to assert your rights.
