For FREE Q&A Visit:

The Object of enactment of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act is that the phenomenon of domestic violence is widely prevalent and needs redressal by providing innovative remedies to the women who are victims of domestic violence from any kind of violence, be it physical, sexual, verbal, emotional or economic, occurring within the family. To further this object of the 2005 Act, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hiral P. Harsora & Others v. Kusum Narottamdas Harsora & Others struck down only the words “adult male” from the definition of “Respondent” and made it gender neutral giving way to any female to file a domestic violence complaint against another female if she is subjected to domestic violence as defined under the Act by another female. This has widened the scope of the protection provided by the Act to not only acts of domestic violence by a Men but also by a women against any women.
