Abstract

There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows about”, quotes by OSCAR WILDE. Women struggled for equality, liberty, and dignity from birth to death during the past centuries. Nowadays, most of the women are educated, so they started to throw back men and stand independent. Consequently, there are more divorces among the current generation. Early phases of torture for women: she lives in a joint family, so every member of her matrimonial home starts to exert physical and mental pressure on her. As of now, even in the case of nuclear families, they give torture through the media. Violence against women in all religions and caste societies, to a greater or lesser degree, includes physical, sexual, psychological, economic, and neglect abuses. Violence against women starts at home. In the ways of
preventing women's freedom in order to achieve their goals and passions, but simply dumping them to do household work by taking care of children. During this journey, the omen face a lot of abuse and torture. Cooking, raising the children, etc. in the home should be the duty of both men and women, but not only for women. Along with that, she has to bear the torture from her in-laws parents. That doesn’t mean women should do all this instead of searching for what they want in their lives. In the 21st century, due to economic needs, women started to work equally like men. Now, women are finding it more difficult to handle both the family and the workplace. Increasing divorce rates are because women are starting to raise their voices to prevent domestic violence, but it still exists.
