Abstract
Cases of domestic violence are in the top most places in the list of crimes against women in the Millennium City. (Snehil Sinha, Hindustan Times, 2013). Domestic violence can happen to anybody and anybody can easily be the victim, but the complexity of that is always exempted, ignored, or denied. Women constitute almost half of the society in India; they are continually abused, disadvantaged and underprivileged and also deprived of respect, rights and personal independence ensured in the constitution of India. Women are considered as physically and emotionally weaker than men. However, in the present situation women have achieved and proved themselves to be equal and that they are no lesser than men. Many women are being tortured, beaten, and killed behind closed doors across ethnicity, cultures and age groups. In that context where domestic violence on women appears. Domestic Violence is defined in the national literature as: “Several behavioural patterns from a family member against other family members, which directly/indirectly impose emotional, verbal, physical, or sexual hurt”. The severity of domestic violence is wider and the impact of the same on women is dangerous. The main objectives of the paper are to understand the concept and to analyse the impact factors on women. The paper highlights the part of research study of the author and the sample size was 300 women victims of domestic violence, purposive sampling method was used to collect data and interview schedule method was adopted to gather data. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was carried out to find out the results. In this regard the researcher had attempted to understand the severity of impact of domestic violence on women victims.
