These Acts may be called The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2006. It extends to the whole of India except the State of Jammu & Kashmir.
5. History:
During Pre- Vedic age women were in better condition. During those days there were matriarchal society, and even God were called as Mother Goddess. Women were independent and they had right to inheritance. Later on during Vedic age, a tremendous change came into the position of women and by entering of Aryans in India, the position of women degraded Matriarchal society changes into Patriarchal society. Aryans played a hein game with women’s status; they took help of some tools like God, destiny and regeneration to confine them for a wall of house. They make traditions of fast and lots of blind faith things for women to follow them and if any one of them do not follow these conservative systems then they were called as a witch (dayan), a jade (kulta), etc. Fasts and all conservative systems were only made for women. For example: a fast on the occasions of Karva chauth, teez , Rakshabandhan , etc which are done by a women for their husband’s long life and for their brother’s safety, why? , Why these systems are only for women not for men? Do women not need any wish for her long life and her safety ? Simmultaneasouly the matriarchal system extinct from the society and patriarchal system started in the society. Slowly- slowly women became a prisoner in her own house, and she was not allowed to go any where from her house without permission. A tag was given to women in old days i.e. “ women are less knowledgeable and more emotional ”. and this tag created a great hurdle in the way of women’s carrier, they were deprived from each and every facilities of the society and still this process is going on..
Great Hindi writer & poet Manu and Kabir had given some bitter words to women they are- “women are the things who cheat”, “Nark ka kua”(a well of hell), & “Nark ka duaar”(a way to hell). It shows that from the early ages women were deprived and this tradition is still following by our society in the present scenario also, and this is the main factor why women are facing violence & loosing their position in society . it shows that from the early ages the violence started and showing its effect in today’s era also. This culture and tradition is following by many people in our country and it will be followed by our country in future also due to our social system . the counter part of women (men) are tried to press her under social system, so that they do not come up and should live like a slave in her own house.
6. Present scenario:
Even today, in the villages and small towns and even in urban area, hold of traditional male dominated patriarchal family, society and culture is still very strong. Personalities (needs, expectations and characteristics) of men and women continue to develop in tune with patriarchal beliefs, practices and society structure. Patriarchy confined women’s role in the domestic sphere, gave them no role in the public sphere (economic, political and wider social life), defined women education and occupational training, kept them home bound, illiterate, ignorant of the outside world, kept them backward, superstitious and custom ridden, perceived them as “Abala” and relegated them to a life of dependency and subordination under the protection of men, envisaged them as wives, mothers and housewives only in charge of domesticity.
Most women do not perceive themselves as persons, citizens. Most women are socialized according to traditional patriarchal beliefs and practices. Women in general tend to be housebound, dependent on men, submissive, dare not take decisions, lack courage to speak in public (or group) or express their views or needs. Having no experience or exposure of outside world, and obsessed with protecting themselves. Women have to modify themselves, their attitudes and personalities before they could participate in public life. Till then even when they get elected in political issues , they would be dummies of their spouses.
The 73rd Amendment of the constitution has reserved 33% seats for women in the some fields like Panchayati Raj Institution, Academics Instititution, etc and paved the way for women’s active participation in some fields. This law is great significance in increasing the representation of SC and ST women. Till now reservation has been only on the basis of caste. This is the first step in recognition of the problems arising from gender inequity. While many see this only as an additional burden on women, it must be seen as a means to reach the very source of exploitation. Past experience of the freedom movement, when came out of their homes and participated on a mass scale in rural and urban area makes us hopeful that women could rise to the occasion and participate in the working field.
In the villages and small towns women shoulder almost complete responsibility of household work, procuring water ,fuel and fodder for family use , cleaning , washing , cooking , serving , child care and looking after the needs of the sick, aged and infirm in the household. They also work at the family economic activity – agriculture , animal husbandry, and household Industry – carried out in the household or take up when need arises, paid wage work. Where is the time , energy left with them for other work. Education and awareness – raising movement is yet to reach women at large in the far off villages. Women have no exposure and experience of public life. They are unaware of the social work and their rights and roles in society today.
Example:
A Hein tradition of Rajput community in Jaiselmer is the proof of cruelty on women. During Mugal rules , the people of Rajput community used to kill their girl child by sinking her into the milk container . they do this crime because of many factors like they don’t like to care and to feed their girl child due to patriarchal system and they faced a lots of complication in their marriages. This example is a very small part of the crime and violence done by men on women.
7. Dalit women
Dalit in Sanskrit means oppressed or downtrodden. In Marathi, it means ‘broken’!
Dalit occupy the lowest rung in the caste hierarchy that is still prevalent in the many areas of South Asia .They are often treated as untouchables ,socially excluded and denied access to land , work and opportunities. They also face unimaginable abuse at the hands of some of the “higher-caste ‘ groups..
it is already shown in the study that condition of women is very poor in society . And when it comes to the matter of Dalit Women , the scene comes in the mind as; helpless, oppressed , untouchables & human beings in very poor condition. Dalit women are that part of society who are facing violence from both the side they are men( of their house) and society (people of high caste).

9. Explanation of all cases:
1. Case of Bidami Devi
Bidami Devi is 18 years old, illiterate girl ,she lives in Maneklao village, (Mandore block) .She lives with her mother, There are eight members in her family; five brothers , one sister , and a widow mother, she is the elder child of her mother. Her mother is a labour and she also work as a labour and they both earn daily wages for their livelihood. She was engaged in her childhood but her husband died in his childhood after some time of the engagement with Bidami Devi.
On 29/08/2006 at 2.00 p.m. three people named GangaRam, Bhura Ram , Himmat Ram of her father in law’s house side with two police man who were unknown for her, came in a jeep and beaten to Bidami Devi and her mother, after that they were trying to pull Bidami Devi into the jeep to bring her to the house of that boy to whom she was engaged , but they failed in their aim. Bidami and her mother both were refusing them so they had beaten them very badly. People of Bidami’s father in law’s house side wants to keep Bidami in their home as the widow of their son but Bidami’s mother wants to do marriage of her daughter to another place so that she can live happily and can get a support for her whole life , this is the reason why they were kidnapping Bidami .After this event , Bidami and her mother immediately went to their neighbors and other relatives to tell about the event and also for the help. Their relatives, society , neighbor , MGS, and head of village helped them that time and she went to police station with her relatives to file FIR.
She had never faced such type of Violence in her life before it. but she knows that this can be happen with her any time in her life again. because she has been warned by accused that they will definitely bring her to her father in law’s house and she cant do any thing , she is living with a terror hat they can come any time and can bring her to her father in law’s house .and she cant do any thing because she has not any support and money to fight with them. She got help from committee named Marudhar Ganga Society , work for Dalit people and having a Dalit Resource Center in Maneklao , to fight against them, and since one year the case is going on in the court and till now she dint get any final decision from the court. Thus she and her family is living in a threat and also facing the slander in the society. .Mother said that if she will win the case then she will be very happy and if she will loose the case then she will face a lots of slander and will also loose her daughter . Mr. Ram Rakh Vyas is advocate of Bidami’s case .They had spend about 1 lakh rs. in this case and they got this large amount of money by solding their land in which they were doing agriculture . Now her mother gave up because she has neither money nor power to fight against them. MGS is still with Bidami to help her to fight against her father in law’s house people even MGS is also getting warning from those people , but MGS will never give up. The lacunas in Bidami’s case are illiteracy of Bidami and her family, lack of money, lack of information, lack of time because she is a daily wages labour and if she will leave one day then she will lose 60 to 70 rs. which is very important for her and family for their livelihood. That’s why she is irregular in the court for the case and this absence is decreasing the interest of her advocate in her case . it does not shows that Bidami don’t want to fight against them but she is very helpless due to her daily wages work.
2. Case of Sushila Bhati

Sushila Bhati faced this violence due to her caste i.e. Dalit which is more deprived community in all over the India. And this community faced very much problems from the non- dalit community. They faced problems of untouchability, discrimination between castes and etc.
After this event Sushila Bhati immediately went to her relatives who were closed to her and went to police station with them to file FIR. In her case the strong point was that she is a SC women which helps her in her case to make it strong to fight in SC/ST section and also of modesty . but she lacked in meeting with police punctually and also was careless about her case , she was unable to speak in front of court and she did not gave witness properly in the court. Her advocate Mr. K.L Chauhan told that she was unable to speak in front of court because she was not mentally prepared . as she is an illiterate women she does not know any sections of law and also does not know the rules and regulations of court, that was the point where she was lacking in her case.

Only Patashi Devi out of eight victims faught against the violence and rest of seven compromised with the situation and afraid of the accused . they did not stand against them because two of them like Naini Bai & Dhalki Devi were tortured by the society & their own family. They got caught in the trap of Indian culture and tradition which do not allow a women to fight in the society . some of them like Pani Devi , Sushila Bhati, and Bidami Devi has still going through the case and did not get any decision due to their lacunas like illiteracy , unawareness , conservative mind set, hiding the warnings in front of members of MGS, lack of punctuality in the court, and unable to give the comment in the court . In case of Hasti Bai , she won the case but still they are afraid of accuser’s warning.
Patashi Devi fought very bravely against accused because she wants justice and she wants to her rights. She did not get afraid because she is a self motivated women and she get encouragement by her brother and MGS. After all she won the case and now she lived very proudly , now all those Rajput of that area greet her.
