Unveiling The Intersection : Exploring Human Right And Domestic Violence In India

Abstract

This research paper examines the complex interplay between human rights and domestic violence in the context of India. Domestic violence, a pervasive yet often concealed issue, presents a critical challenge to the realization of fundamental human rights within the confines of private spaces. Through an interdisciplinary approach encompassing legal analysis, sociological insights, and human rights perspectives, this paper sheds light on the multifaceted dimensions of domestic violence in India. The paper begins by exploring the legal framework governing domestic violence in the country, primarily focusing on the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. It then delves into the socio-cultural factors that perpetuate domestic violence, including patriarchal norms, economic dependence, and societal stigmatization. The intersectionality of factors such as gender, caste, and class is also examined to unveil the disproportionate impact on marginalized individuals.
