Which of the following is not true about the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAWj ?

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979 [2]. It serves as an international bill of rights for women, defining discrimination and establishing a comprehensive agenda for national action. States parties are legally committed to incorporating the principle of gender equality into their legal systems, abolishing discriminatory laws, and adopting appropriate legislation to prohibit discrimination [2]. Option 4 is incorrect because India is indeed a ratifying country. India signed the convention on July 30, 1980, and ratified it on July 9, 1993 [1]. Although India made specific declarations regarding non-interference in personal affairs (Articles 5 and 16) and a reservation on Article 29, it remains a State Party and is legally bound to implement the convention's provisions in consonance with its constitutional obligations [3].
