Domestic Cycle of Violence

Author(s) Pragnyasa Swain

Abstract In our society, mostly women are groomed to agree to the thinking of the Men. Men are made to think their believes are more righteous and holds more value than the women due to the basic difference of role play in the society. In our society, earlier only the men were the bread earners and the women were restricted to the household chores. This major difference gave birth to the deep-rooted patriarchal mindset of India. Though with various amendments, this situation has improved in the society but as certain facts are pushed under the rug and not represented statistically or discovered evidently the fraction of domestic violence that we are shown compared to the reality differs drastically in number. Despite prevailing laws, certain acts of violence have been normalized in families and the women are explained how these actions don’t amount to violence as it occurred as a result of the fault of the women. Now the fault of women ranges from the tiniest inconvenience to a major mistake. Irrespective, the violence is justified and neutralized by bringing up the lifestyle of the women when there is no other explanation to rationalize. From a legal perspective, it is not just a crime but also a strategic way of rooting the fear in the mindset of women and normalizing the acts of violence to make it look common. From a societal and moral standpoint, things are made complicated by the various versions of reality and numerous layers of incoherent justifications. This paper will deal with all the prevailing laws regarding domestic violence, its implication and the various gap prevailing in laws regarding domestic abuse.
