Abstract

In 12 such cases i.e. 16.6 percent of the cases, the police forwarded the case to the Protection officer or some other legal authorities. In respect of the Protection Officer, only 3 numbers of respondents out of 22 were found aware of the office of the Protection Officer. Rests of the respondents were not aware of this office. Whenever the victims move in the society for various purposes like job, residence or any such help, a little help is available to them. One reason could be to prevent the children from undergoing the hardships if she separates from the spouse. Also the traditional and orthodox mindset makes them bear the sufferings without any protest. Therefore, there is a need to tune these cells to the demands of the victims so that resources are not wasted and the help is provided to all the women in general and to the victims of domestic violence in particular. Thus, a set of individual level changes is suggested. Adopting such changes in their life they can liberate themselves from the clutches of their oppressors. The same numbers of respondents have stated that they have become free from being the victim of the violence after the decision of the court. Rests of the respondents have said that they have become economic independent during the course of the judicial process. At times, women are even sexually coerced by their partner themselves against their will. They are brutally beaten and tortured for not conceiving a male child.
