Emotional violence against women is a pervasive yet often overlooked form of abuse that inflicts profound and lasting harm. Unlike physical violence, emotional abuse can be subtle, insidious, and difficult to recognize, leaving victims feeling trapped and invalidated. This insidious form of violence encompasses a range of behaviors aimed at undermining a woman's sense of self-worth, autonomy, and dignity, including verbal attacks, manipulation and controlling behaviors. This article delves into the intricate dynamics of emotional violence against women, shedding light on its far-reaching impacts from the select novels of the prominent Indian woman author Sutha Murty.
