Domestic Abuse- Blurred marital blues

11/30/21 • 16 min

Domestic abuse is an epidemic that we choose to shy away from. This silence leaves more pain than the scars and bruises endured by the woman throughout her life. A crime behind closed doors is chosen to be ignored and leaving the relationship is not always an option considering among the societal disputes. There are laws like the Article 15, the 498A IPC and the 304B Dowry law, which are available to protect such women against conjugal violence and provide safety. In this episode of Guy from Gynec, Dr Ash highlights the silent abuses faced by married women in different manners, the reasons why they choose to bear or accept such exploitation and the various ways a woman can fight for her safety and rights to protect her integrity.
