Abstract
Violence against women has devastating physical, emotional, financial and social effects on women, children, families and communities around the world. Domestic violence is an extremely complex and vicious form of abuse, committed most often within the four walls of the family or within a particular deep rooted power dynamic and socio-economic structures, which do not allow even the acknowledgement or recognition of this abuse. It is a serious sociological problem in rural society of Kashmir and has a number of forms like wife beating, harassment of women, and threat of divorce to wife, discrimination, sexual exploitation and bride burning. Based on a sample of 150 respondents selected from Ganderbal district of Kashmir valley, the study examines the nature and magnitude of domestic violence against rural women in Kashmir.

The paper provides useful insights into nature, magnitude, frequency, sources and conditions of domestic violence against rural women in Kashmir.
