This means that India has not officially agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), therefore it is not legally obligated to implement the measures outlined in the convention.

Option 1 states that CEDAW defines what constitutes discrimination against women and sets up an agenda for national action. This is true. CEDAW provides a clear definition of what constitutes discrimination against women and also lays out an agenda for national action to prevent and eliminate such discrimination.

Option 2 states that CEDAW was adopted in 1979 by the United Nations. This is true. CEDAW was indeed adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979 and has since been ratified by 189 countries.

Option 3 states that CEDAW commits states to undertake measures to end discrimination in their legal system. This is also true. In ratifying CEDAW, countries commit to taking various measures to eliminate discrimination against women, including adopting legislation and implementing policies that promote gender equality in their legal systems.
