Abstract Violence is a behaviour involving physical force intended to hurt or damage to some one. Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviour in any relationship that is used to give or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act which was passed in 2005 is an Act to safeguard women from domestic violence. The Act was passed when it was considered that domestic violence could be committed only by men against women. But we are now living in the situation where domestic violence is committed by women against men also. Domestic violence also affects male victims. The prevalence of domestic violence against males is substantial, despite the fact that it goes undetected . Being a gender specific law domestic violence act misused by women in our society. This resulted in a thinking that the domestic violence Act is to be changed with a view to protect men also from domestic violence. The report shows that the male victims of domestic violence are increasing day by day. It is not only an Indian issue but also a global issue. This research aimed to project that men are also victims of domestic violence, and the domestic violence Act is to be changed to protect men also from domestic violence as protecting a basic human right.
