Women have been subject to socio-economic and cultural deprivations for a long time. In India human rights violation takes place in the form of women right violation. Act like female feticide, domestic violence and dowry death are very common violation against women. Haryana is rapidly progressing state of India and has often been criticized for its low sex ratio. Discrimination against women violates the principles of equality of rights and respect for human dignity. Women could risk emotional or physical harm if forced to remain in a violent relationship, therefore, divorce seeking has become one indicator of the status of women in any given society. Divorce or the dissolution of marriage is the termination of a marital union. It is dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country and/or state.
