Indian women through centuries, remained subjugated and oppressed. In modern times, when women are getting education and playing role in public life, domestic violence against women has become talk of the day. It seems that men do not accept women as their equal partner. The discrimination against women can be seen in all spheres. The dowry system is the most highlighted cause of domestic violence.. The violence has become fundamental part of families. Since it is committed by family members, the women feel hesitant to inform legal agencies. The Dowry Prohibition Act, Domestic Violence Act, the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the protection of Women against Sexual harassment at Workplace Act etc. are the legal remedies through which women can fight against injustices committed against them and gradually can achieve equal status in the society.
