Summary/Abstract: The world witnessed very troubled times in the past year and there seems to be not much respite in the coming days. The COVID-19 pandemic is viewed as one of the most disturbing calamities by many countries, their governments and the people alike. Women have been found to be impacted more by the pandemic due to financial insecurities and increased workload at all fronts. Increased time spent with the family was seen as a boon by some and a downside by some others. The present study is an attempt to gain a perspective on whether family is perceived as a stressor or a de-stressor by Indian women during the current pandemic. Findings of the study conducted on women in India suggest that they found solace with their family during this period.
