| TITLE | Evaluating Procedural Laws on Domestic Violence: A Critical Study of the Indian Legal System |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Domestic violence remains a persistent challenge in India, despite a robust legal framework aimed at addressing it. This research paper critically evaluates the procedural laws governing domestic violence in India, focusing on their effectiveness, enforcement mechanisms, and judicial interpretation. It assesses the strengths and limitations of existing laws such as the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (PWDVA) and relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The paper also explores challenges faced by victims in accessing justice and suggests reforms to enhance the efficacy of procedural laws |
