Domestic Violence Act: Two Decades On, Challenges Remain

Imagine a law meant to protect women from harm at home.

This law has been around for a while, recognizing different types of abuse.

However, many women aren't aware of their rights or hesitate to report abuse due to social and economic fears.

Data shows that few seek help, and many cases are still stuck in court.

The law itself has a major gap: it doesn't consider marital rape a crime.

This means the law needs to be improved to fully protect women.
