Around the ’70s in India, the autonomous women’s movement raise the awareness of violence against women. After that, The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is proposed to be amended in 1983 to make cruelty to women by her husband or any relative of her husband punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and also with fine. Wilful conduct of such a nature by the husband or any relative of cause grave physical or relative of her husband to coerce her or any of her relative to meet any unlawful demand for the property would be punishable as cruelty.

But this was limited to the definition of domestic violence to dower-related cruelty or “extreme cruelty”. Extreme cruelty is defined as that which could cause “grave injury” or drive a woman to suicide. But then in 2005, landmark legislation finally extended the definition of domestic violence and added verbal, emotional, economic, emotional abuse, sexual abuse.

Domestic violence or we can say husband beating wife, is a very commonly known term in our country. It is so common that 52% of women in India thinks that it is normal that their husband to beat them. According to the national crime record bureau (NCRB) 2019, reported that a majority (30.9%) of all the 4.05 lakh cases of women were registered as domestic violence cases (national family health survey-4, 2015-2016). In 2020, only in 68 days of the government’s lockdown over 1,477 complaints of domestic violence were registered by women. This is a very huge number because many women don’t even register any complaint of domestic violence.

Why does a husband beating a wife or domestic violence happen?

Domestic violence has the highest repeat rate of all the crimes in the world. It’s rarely a stray, one-off incident, its terms from a systemic problem with power dynamics within families. Girls are socialized into believing that keeping their husbands and their family happy is an essential part of their marital duties, while for men marriage is often framed as bringing someone into the family, whose primary role is to take care of the family. Husband control their wives after marriage is socially sanctioned, Even research shows that not taking the permission of the husband even for simple tasks, going out, or talking on the phone is one of the most common reasons men give for inflicting domestic violence.
