Abstract

Domestic Violence has become a serious problem in Indian society
affecting adversely the rights and interest of women and their development. Despite of several efforts on the part of the legislator,
judiciary, women organization, Non-Governmental Organization etc. to
prevent this menace from exploiting Indian women, domestic violence
still exists and the number of subjection of women to domestic violence
in India is ever increasing. Historically, India is a rich country so far as
respecting women and her dignity is concern but in reality vey often women are subjected to different kinds of violence in India and this violence has hardly left any culture, religion, class, caste or society
untouched. This study has been undertaken to consider the nature
and limitations of the existing laws dealing with domestic violence in
India and critically analyze these provisions. This study further aims
to recommend suggestions for making the laws relating to domestic
violence more effective so that the laws can achieve the goal for which
they have been enacted.

Keywords: Domestic Violence; Cruelty Dowry; Dowry death; Victimization.
