DESCRIPTION
Violence against wives is quite widespread in conjugal relationship. People generally exonerate withdrawal, psychological and verbal violence and do not treat them as 'violence'. It is physical violence which is treated as violence and also attracts societal censure. In other words, domestic violence in one form or the other is not considered seriously unless it involves homicide or physical injury against an intimate. Wives' perception that other alternative ways of living, e.g., single, divorcee or separated are no substitute for married life forces theme to develop tolerance towards violence and they continue living with their abusive spouses with a hope that things may improve.
