This book examines the prevailing legal discourse surrounding
domestic violence law in India. It investigates the myths,
patriarchal stereotypes, and misconceptions that undermine the
process of justice and dilute legal provisions to the detriment of
survivors. The volume: Develops arguments based on legal case
studies and draws extensively on knowledge from various fields of
study, as well as the experience of women survivors. Examines
fallacies within the legal framework through a study of strategic
lawsuits against public participation suits within the Indian
context. Proposes measures for a fair and more gender inclusive
legal system that focuses on facilitating access to justice.
Suggests that emphasis be laid on establishing the rule of law and
eliminating the culture of violence. A key text on gender and law
in India, this book will be indispensable to scholars and
researchers of socio-legal studies, law, gender, human rights,
women’s studies, social science, political science, and feminist
jurisprudence in South Asia. It will also be of interest to NGOs,
activists, and lawyers.
