The phenomenon of domestic violence and role of education is as old as humans. Violence in homes is going on since hundreds of years all over the world. Society deliberately formulated beliefs and traditions which facilitated this form of violence – especially towards women. That is - social norms were deliberately floated to ensure the subordination of women. Domestic violence and education manifests in many ways – spousal, man on woman and woman on man; adults’ children and children on adults; woman on woman and man on man. Sometimes, domestic violence also manifests as family wars or clan wars. Overtly, subordination of educated women has always helped to shape the course of this violence. The percentage of domestic violence is always more in countries where the laws and social norms diminish the status of women. Woman is usually the chief victim of domestic violence.
