Assault and attack against women is a atrocity not only against women but also against humanity. Every day thousands of cases of crime against women are reported across the world. Women are subject to cruelty and violence not only outside their safe zones but they are also face similar problems inside their very own comfort zones. So women and girls are not safe even in their homes. In the country like ours where we have been provided with all the constitutional rights of equality and liberty to all the citizens of the country including women but the grass root reality is very much different and despite all the legislations they are still living with less opportunities and rights, contrary to their counter partners. The present paper examined the theoretical construct of the problem of domestic violence as well as forms and consequence of violence against women in India.
