Domestic violence is a widespread worldwide problem that has a substantial negative influence on
survivors' physical, mental, and financial health, especially for women. In India, the problem is deeply rooted
in societal norms, cultural traditions, and economic dependencies, which perpetuate abuse and hinder
women's empowerment. The prevalence of violence is still shockingly high even after protective laws like the
Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (2005) were passed. This enduring issue highlights gaps in
the enforcement of laws, resistance to challenging traditional gender roles, and the socio-economic
vulnerabilities that often trap women in abusive relationships. This paper examines domestic violence from
multiple perspectives, focusing on its cultural, legal, and economic dimensions.
