The in-laws used to force me for too much household work that nails of my hands fell down, the husband grabbed the hair of my head in the greed of money, just because I was a girl, so my family threw me down from the moving train.  

These are some examples of atrocities on female castes in society, which we keep on reading from day-to-day television channels to newspapers.

For some days these stories of women remain in the discussion and then you also forget and we too. The Domestic Violence Act has been made against all these, but due to lack of information, the victims could not take advantage of them. 

What is the Domestic Violence Act?

The Domestic Violence Act was created in 2005 and it was implemented on October 26, 2006. This act is governed by female child development. Eight conservation officers have been appointed as per the zones by the women's child development in the city. Those who listen to complaints of women suffering from domestic violence and after the completion of the investigation, the matter is sent to the court.

For women who are suffering from any kind of violence within the family. It includes types of abuse, any kind of restraining and assault, etc.

Under this Act, every form of women is included in every form of mother, sister-in-law, sister, wife and women and episodes related to adolescent girls. A woman tortured under the Domestic Violence Act can prosecute any adult male, that is, the case can be registered against him.
