Abstract:
Indian society, being male-dominated, suffers from a significant and repeated crime, that is, domestic violence against women. It is deemed socially acceptable, thereby increasing risks and threats towards them. Women are at particular risk of victimization and face more injustices due to lack of educational opportunities, low socio-economic status, gender disparity and patriarchal family structure. There are various provisions in the constitution and innumerable legislation that protect and empower women, but injustice still prevails due to execution failure and inability of this section to grasp appropriate measures of protection. The present study is conducted to understand the factors and conditions under which violence against women occurs and the laws and support available to victims in India by analyzing the previous research, reports and studies on related issues. This paper may help communicate and bring awareness among people on gender rights and issues so that women can lead fear-free, dignified, and safe lives.
