Question

Review of literature on implementation of domestic violence act india

Answer 1

Violence against women is a centuries-old phenomenon that has been perpetrated in the name of religion, social customs and rituals. The violence may manifest itself in different forms, like child marriage, witch-hunting, honour-killing etc. Many a time violence against women is due to defiance of the stereotyped role model of daughter, sister, wife and mother and, of course, as daughter-in-law. It is not the focus of this paper to go into the details of the numerous kinds of violence justified by as many reasons.Resistance to domestic violence is a recent phenomenon. In the modern age voices have been raised against these inhuman practices and efforts made to bring about change by creating awareness, by educating people and, of course, through legal actions/reforms.
