  WHAT IS DOMESTICVOILENCE ? • Domestic violence (also called domestic abuse or family violence) is violence or other abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person, and can take place in relationships or between former spouses or partners. • In other words Domestic violence is violence committed by someone in the victim's domestic circle. This includes partners and ex- partners, immediate family members, other relatives and family friends. The term 'domestic violence' is used when there is a close relationship between the offender and the victim.

Usually, this involves putting the victim on a strict "allowance", withholding money at will and forcing the victim to beg for the money until the abuser gives them some money. It is common for the victim to receive less money as the abuse continues. This also includes (but is not limited to) preventing the victim from finishing education or obtaining employment, or intentionally squandering or misusing communal resources.

  Victims of domesticviolence • Women form the largest group of victims. However, men, children and elderly people can also be victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence occurs at all levels in society and in all population groups. • Abuse is usually deliberate, but not always. For example, sometimes people can no longer cope with caring for relatives. The situation can then escalate and result in abuse.

  STATISTICAL FACTS ABOUTDOMESTIC VIOLENCE • More than over 40% of women and 38% of men said it was OK for a man to beat his wife if she mistreated her in-laws, ignored her home or children, went out without notifying him, rejected sex, or didn’t cook adequately, according to government pollsters. More than 77 percent of women in four states justified hitting their wives. • More women than men justified wife beating in most states, and more women than men thought it was acceptable for a man to beat his wife if she didn’t cook correctly in every state except Karnataka. • Although the statistics have decreased since the previous poll five years ago.

  CONCLUSION • Domestic Violenceincreases rapidly day by day. It is one of the most appalling kind of harassment endured by the women in our surrounding today and we are not raising our voice against this violence seriously. All the laws are left in the papers only and reality is apart from this. Survey shows that maximum percentage of victims of Domestic Violence are female but men are also suffering from this problem. We are not raising our voice seriously because we thought we are safe but we are wrong because Domestic Violence can take places with anyone, despite the fact of race, religion, creed or caste. If the problem of Domestic Violence is not dealt with adequately, this kind of abuse will keep on existing in all classes of society without an end. So, as a citizen and young generation of India, we have to stand together and make strict laws to protect the victims of Domestic Violence.
