Documents belonging to Village Panchayats of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra are the most likely source among the given options to contain information about social disputes, including women protesting against the infidelity of their husbands or neglect by the male head of the household. Village panchayats historically served as local judicial and administrative bodies that dealt with community disputes, including family matters, marriage, and social norms. Records from such bodies would document grievances and the process of resolution or protest.

Village-level administrative and judicial records, such as those maintained by panchayats, provide valuable insights into social dynamics, disputes, and protests at the grassroots level.

While other sources like Kitab-ul-Hind and Ain-i-Akbari provide broader information on Indian society and administration during their respective periods, they are less likely to contain specific details of individual domestic disputes and protests in villages. Sculptures, while providing visual information about life and culture, are generally not a source for documented protests or legal grievances. Archival records from local bodies like village panchayats are a direct source for such socio-legal matters.
