Domestic Violence: A Crime against Women

Abstract

We have believed in the presence of gods in places where women are venerated since ancient times. However, in actuality, women are still revered in their homes today as deities. The issue of domestic abuse against women is one that almost everyone finds troubling. Women are always viewed as second-class citizens in patriarchal countries. We see that a woman experiences abuse from her own family in addition to from society. Domestic violence is defined as violence that takes place within the home since, to put it simply, the word "domestic" means "home" and the word "violence" implies "harm." When one person exploits his position to exert control over the other, it is sometimes referred to as domestic violence. This is done to make someone else fearful. Violent acts can be psychological, physical, or financial. Occasionally, it's also done to allow other people to devalue you. We refer to them as crimes against women. Violence against a woman committed within the confines of her married home is known as domestic violence. A woman's ability to succeed is most significantly hampered by domestic abuse. This article's goal is to evaluate how well the Domestic Violence Act of 2005 shields women against domestic abuse in its various manifestations.
