The two main Act of legislation applicable when dealing with domestic violence and intimidation.
- The Protection of Women from Domestic Abuse Act, 2005, and Section 498-A of the Penal Code come to mind when discussing domestic violence laws in India. In this blog, we'll talk about what constitutes domestic violence, its origins, its effects, and the related legal requirements.
- In India, there are numerous laws against domestic abuse. The Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 was the first law to criminalise the giving and receiving of dowries. Two new sections, Section 498A and Section 304B, were added to the Indian Penal Code in 1983 and 1986 in an effort to strengthen the 1961 statute. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA) of 2005 is the most recent piece of legislation. Domestic violence is defined by the PWDVA, a civil legislation, to encompass physical, emotional, sexual, verbal, and economic abuse.
- Any sort of abuse a person experiences from a biological related is considered domestic violence in India, however often a woman experiences assault from male family members or relatives. [1][2] Even while men are also victims of domestic violence, only women are particularly protected under IPC 498A statute.
- Particularly, only a woman may report domestic violence. A National Family and Health Survey conducted in 2005 found that among women aged 15 to 49, the lifetime prevalence of domestic abuse was 33.5% and the lifetime prevalence of sexual violence was 8.5%.
- According to Article 39(d), the state must ensure that both Indian men and women receive equal compensation for equivalent work. According to Article 39(e), the state is obligated to make sure that women employees' health and strength are not exploited and that they are not coerced by economic necessity into occupations that are not a good fit for them.
