Answer:
Violence against women occurs throughout the life cycle from prebirth, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood to senescence.[4] Most of the data are believed to be unreliable as many cases go unreported.
Cases of violence against women are steadily increasing in the country. According to the National Crime Record Bureau, India, there is one dowry death in the country every 78 h, one act of sexual harassment every 59 min, one rape every 34 min, one act of torture every 12 min and almost one in every three married women experienced domestic violence.[5]
Studies from India reported violence in 19– 76% of women (75%[6]–76%[7] in lower caste women; 42–48% in Uttar Pradesh and 36–38% in Tamil Nadu;[8] and 19% in an urban slum community of childless women.[9]) In Western India, 15.7% pregnancy-related deaths in the community series and 12.9% in the hospital series were associated with domestic violence.[10] In Uttar Pradesh, 30% men reported beating wives.[11] 22% of woman of childbearing age from a potter community were physically assaulted. 34% of those physically assaulted required medical attention.[12]
The population-based, multicenter based collaborative project of the study of abuse in the family environment (India-survey of abuse in family environment) was established in seven sites in India.[13] It looked at the association with poor mental health. A total of 9938 women participated (from rural, urban slum, urban nonslum areas). 40% reported experiencing any violence during their marriage. 56% had self-report questionnaire scores indicating poor mental health.
