Domestic violence in India often involves violence by blood relations, particularly male family members. It is governed by the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act of 2005, which expanded on the protections initially provided under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Section 498A criminalizes harassment by the husband or his family, including demands for dowry and actions that threaten a woman's physical or mental health. However, it lacks provisions for victim compensation and applies only to married women. The 2005 Act addressed these gaps.

Types of Domestic Violence Against Women in India
  1. Physical Abuse: The most common form, it includes any act causing physical pain or endangering life, limb, or health. It encompasses violence, illegal force, and criminal intimidation.
  2. Sexual Abuse: Includes marital rape and other forms of sexual coercion, defined as any sexual abuse that degrades or violates a woman's dignity.
  3. Verbal and Emotional Abuse: Involves threats or derogatory remarks, leading to a diminished sense of self-worth.
  4. Economic Abuse: Involves denying or threatening access to financial resources, significantly impacting the victim's livelihood and independence.
