Would a man be guilty of domestic violence ( Hindi)
In spirit and intent the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act is unexceptionable. It cannot be faulted on the ground of gender discrimination, because in our male-dominated society, women are undoubtedly greater victims of domestic violence than men. The Act has some commendable provisions for protection of women in case of physical and economic abuse. However, the definition of verbal and emotional abuse, which includes inter alias “insults and name calling”, can cause problems in the absence of any definition of these terms.
