Marital Violence Parul Parihar

This book is a comprehensive study on the marital violence against women with a peculiar reference to global and parochial perspectives in hand. It is consciously summarised into 5 chapters that deal analytically with a critical evaluation on the narratives of family violence and the viciousness that creeps against the vulnerability of women subjected to it and explore the trends, dimensions, aspects and causes of this syndrome. It is a conglomerate of socio, legal and political insights that enrapture the power and manipulative gimmicks solely based on preserving the hierarchal dominion of the male ego in patriarchy. From Feminist Social Research to the conceptions that are ambiguous to the class consciousness of women in debate, this book is a modest exposure to the system with an astute interpretation of the interpretative law and the lacuna that still remains while including conclusions and proposed suggestions to combat the issue at the matrimonial, social and cultural levels. The prominent case studies and cases discussed in the book is a beguiled manifestation of keeping society sovereign and law as its custodian at the altar of diminishing the individuality of a woman who remains all or nothing but for the other self. This book is a sociological analysis on the legal dimensions of marital violence with field work and researched data on domestic abuse to support it for future reference studies.
