Domestic violence doesn’t always leave physical marks.
Sometimes the wounds are emotional, financial or psychological — and they hurt even deeper.
Many victims stay silent because:
-
They don’t want to break the family
-
They are financially dependent
-
They fear society’s judgments
-
They hope the abuser will change
But staying silent does not make things better — it makes the violence stronger.
The Domestic Violence Act protects not only married women but also:
-
Live-in partners
-
Elderly parents
-
Any dependent facing domestic abuse
Legal support can provide:
-
Protection orders
-
Residence rights
-
Financial support/maintenance
-
Child protection
-
Counselling assistance
You deserve safety, dignity and respect — the law guarantees it.
