Domestic violence, however, is not a very unique area of research but is always a emerging concern for a researcher. The traditional reason says that women always tend to subjugate themselves to the authority of the men and thereby in most of the cases the abuses go unreported. Again, few say that women fall prey of the abuses more when they report of being a victim of any marital abuse. The probable reasons are poverty, lack of education, lack of support, emotional attachment for the partner, motherhood, tender age of the victim and her children, financial distress at paternal house of the victim, reputation of the family which restricts victims to seek help against the marital abuse. Furthermore, they are even more victimized when they try to seek help or share their experiences. Thus, they remain continuous victims of physical, emotional, sexual social and financial abuses. In this paper the author seeks to focus on sensitization of the Judicial and investigation agencies and authorities toward the crimes like domestic abuse and rape.
