Under The Protection Of Women From Domestic Violence Act, 2005 Domestic violence is a hidden problem in India, as the home is considered a private space under the control of the male head of the household. Women are seen as traitors by the family when they report violence. Domestic violence can occur in any social and economic context, in affluent and poor households, in developed and developing countries, literate and illiterate, educated and uneducated; all types of women are victims. Violence against women puts huge pressure on a nation’s socio-economic fabric resulting in heavy losses in terms of productivity. Economically dependent women are generally found to be more vulnerable to violence. The Act named The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 has been enacted to give protection to women from domestic violence.
