Abstract

In the early 90s, the Violence in the cases of dowry was the crux, and later it gave vent to the other sort of violence against women as domestic violence and wife battering as per its incessant giant like growing form. In the last two decades, domestic violence has captured the attention of all sorts of social and judicial authorities. It is crucial to gauge the structure of violence against women in India through the generic pattern, which remains more or less similar across the world. The narrative of victimhood is vital to get the proper solution of all sorts of violent acts against women in society. In Hyderabad, India has women police for such cases, and there are many statistics that we need to understand in the context of this matter of violence against women. The active collaboration between the NGOs and the government authorities is indispensable to control such criminal arenas. Family and friends can do work at a deeper level to eradicate this problem to make the society free from the clutches of domestic violence or wife battering. The discrimination of caste, race, or between man and women can be traced in the religious scriptures.
