    Domestic violence against women is a violation of human rights that remains a serious problem in India. It refers to any type of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse against a woman by a person known to her, such as a husband or family member. National crime statistics show that every 33 minutes an Indian woman suffers abuse from her husband. While laws like the Domestic Violence Act of 2005 have been passed to address the issue, domestic violence cases still often take a long time to resolve and the laws are not always implemented effectively.

    VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
     Domestic violence is one of the crimes against
    women which are linked to their disadvantageous
    position in the society. Domestic violence refers
    to violence against women especially in
    matrimonial homes. Domestic violence that is
    any act of physical, sexual, or psychological
    abuse, or the threat of such abuse, inflicted
    against a woman by a person intimately
    connected to her through marriage, family
    relation, or acquaintanceship is universal and has
    its root in the socio-cultural set up of the society.
    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
     National Crime Records Bureau Report, 1997 reveals
    that in every 33 minutes one Indian woman is being
    abused by her husband. It also reveals that in 1989
    one dowry death occurred in every 125th minute.
     Violence in the domestic sphere is usually
    perpetrated by males who are, or who have been, in
    positions of trust and intimacy and power –
    husbands, boyfriends, fathers, fathers-in-law,
    stepfathers, brothers, uncles, sons, or other relatives.
     The World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna
    (1993) accepted that the rights of women and girls
    are “an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of
    universal human rights.”
    CAUSES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
     The causes can be –
     Cultural:
     Economic:
     Legal:
     Political:
    TYPES OF VIOLENCE:
     Violence which is money oriented
     Violence which is the result of stressful
    family situation
     Violence which seeks power over the
    weak
     Violence which is the result of the
    perpetrators pathology
     Violence which aims at pleasure
    seeking
     Violence which is victim precipitated.
    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT, 2005
     According to the DVA, 2005; Domestic Violence
    includes-
     Any harm or injury that endangers health, safety, limb
    or well-being either mental physical abuse, sexual
    abuse, verbal and emotional abuse or economic abuse.
     If one harasses, harms, injures or endangers the
    aggrieved person with a view to coerce her or any other
    person related to her to meet any unlawful demand for
    any dowry or other property or valuable security.
     If one injures or causes harm, whether physical or
    mental to the aggrieved person;
     
    PROBLEMS WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT, 2005

     The Act has failed to serve its purpose.


    Protection of Women from Domestic
    Violence Act-2005 was introduced in
    India for the speedy disposal of the cases
    with victims who faced cruelty by
    husbands or relatives. Though the Act
    stipulates disposal of cases within 60
    days, in reality, it takes nearly six months
    and sometimes more than two years.
    REMEDIES FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
     The role of NGO’s
     The role of non-governmental organizations in
    controlling the domestic violence and curbing its
    worse consequences is crucial.
     Need for Stringent Laws
     There is an urgent need for such a law in the
    country. In fact, there has also been misuse of
    section 498-A and DVA, 2005 because of restricted
    definition of cruelty subjected to married women.
     Police Training
     Police plays a major role in tackling the domestic
    violence cases.
