Given the prevalence of a patriarchal society in Bangladesh, it is customary for women to be subjected to dominance by their male companions. Gender incongruity in domestic decision-making is a common occurrence in Bangladesh. Men assume the leading position, whereas women are subordinate to their male counterparts. Women residing in rural areas should possess a clear understanding of their role within the household and strive to be self-reliant in order to actively engage in the decision-making process. The study's objective was to determine the involvement of women in the process of making decisions inside the home. This study is conducted using primary data gathered from Horikumaria, situated in the Madaripur district. The study employed a blend of quantitative and qualitative approaches to scrutinize the collected data and examine the findings. The study's findings unequivocally demonstrate that men possess a far higher degree of decision-making authority, amounting to almost 90%, in domains such as household infrastructure, financial matters, children's education, and other familial concerns. However, women have the power to make decisions in certain areas, such as cattle management and organizing specific events for women. Various factors, including education, occupation, religion, age, physical appearance, and family-related norms and values, have a direct or indirect impact on women's participation in household decision-making. KEYWORDS: women, decision-making process, domestic, role, issue, occupation, involvement.
