Women were exploited in the men dominated society and they suffered this discrimination in silence. They are under exploitation both in the house and outside the house. They are subjected, to violence likewise female feticides, infanticide, child marriage, dowry. purdah, sati and slavery. Generally, women are exploited in different ways. They are also tortured by their male partner by way of live-in-relationship. Despite the enactment of several laws, the status of women has not improved. In the common parlance, brides are going to burning, poisoned, beaten and harassed for dowry demand. The term of domestic violence is not a new or unknown term. It spread all over the world but most of the society still remained largely unrecognized. At Present, when a married woman faces cruelty by a husband or his relatives, it is deemed to be an offence under this section. But any civil law of land doesn’t approve the term cruelty completely. For that reason, the Constitution of India proposed for the enactment a new law with a view to fulfill the rights of women that are enshrined under Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Constitution of India. There is a need to pass such a law to protect the rights of women against domestic violence so that the goal of preamble to the Constitution of India can be achieved. By passing this enactment, the protection provided to women under the fundamental rights can be achieved in a better way. This will also improve the status of women and enhance the women empowerment.
