Government is busy in throwing various program and policies for the upliftment of her status. Domestic violence has always been a major threat to the dignity and status of women. Earlier there was no specific law to deal with this problem of violence against women. It was only in 2005 when a serious step was taken and an act known as 'Domestic Violence Act 2005' came into existence. This act provides effective measures to protect women from being victim of violence within her own family. The vision which Domestic Violence Act 2005 reflects is, indeed, like a dream come true for women. This paper addresses the provisions of Domestic Violence Act 2005 and critically examines its application in Indian society. | | Keywords : | | |
