| Article Name : | | | DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW | | Author Name : | | | D. LOGANAYAKI AND N. SWAMINATHAN | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2216 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Violence against women can occur either within their households or outside. Family is considered the safest place or its members, but this illusion has been proved wrong by the experiences of women who face the threat of violence in their own homes. Term 'domestic violence' refers to destructive acts which cause physical injury or harm to a woman in her household. The term domestic violence is generally used to refer to physical abuse, but it should also include deprivations, which members of a family may experience, through not necessarily physical abuse. | | Keywords : | | |
