Women face abuse and violence in a variegated form, often a combination of multiple cases of abuse depending on the age, social strata, economic stability, and cultural background in which the woman is situated.
The objective of the edited book is to engage the readers with the socio-legal aspects of violence against women in domestic spaces.
