| dc.description.notes | Provides an overview of legislation pertaining to domestic violence in India, highlighting the many ways in which it continues to privilege the rights of men over those of women and perpetuate patriarchal political, legal, economic and social structures, before exploring, in more detail, the status of women in Indian society and how their position has evolved. Key factors that complicate the issue of domestic violence and contribute to women’s continued disadvantage in India, such as the dowry system and the cultural/religious significance attached to sons over daughters, are identified and critiqued in terms of the role they play in totalising the system of patriarchy. Strategies for reform both within and outside legislative/policy spheres are also suggested. | en |
