Feminization of poverty means where a woman earns but has no right over her earnings, instead it's the man of the house or the husband who decides what she should do with her money. Most of the time the money is used for husband's well being and for his family. At times, the woman is left with no money for herself; she needs to consult the husband even to buy basic necessities for herself. This scenario is called 'Feminization of poverty'
