Image
  Introduction The term “domestic violence” includes a broad range of violent acts committed by one member of a family or household against another. It often refers to the mistreatment of a child or spouse, and includes not only physical harm but also threats and verbal, psychological, and sexual abuse. [1]  The relationship of the victimizer to the casualty is the key qualification between other attack wrongdoings and aggressive behavior at home. In India, abusive behavior at home is constantly accepted to be caused on ladies. Notwithstanding, during individual collaborations with numerous guys in the public arena and in the sorted out arrangements, for example, ventures and workplaces, it was seen that men likewise experience the ill effects of aggressive behavior at home.

THE STRING OF RAPE INCIDENTS- IS IT THE DEFICIENCY IN THE INDIAN JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM?

Image
  THE PONDERING THOUGHT- We talk about constitutional values, religious beliefs, caste system, economic lines, fundamental rights, women empowerment, the concept of equality, and whatnot. We being Indians are proud to be the citizen of India which is the world's largest democracy but when it comes to the safety and protection of the daughters of the nation, the Indian Judicial System witnessed repeated failure. Despite so many laws, amendments, bills, enforcement procedures, and machinery why our judicial system is a failure? Why  justice is always delayed? Why our daughters are not safe today? Whether this heinous crime is due to unemployment? Whether the values and beliefs of the Indian system are only for girls and women? Whether the movement 'Beti Bachao' is just a phrase and it does not hold any significance concerning its implementation? Why there are a pendency of cases and a high level of corruption? The Supreme Court in 2017 has launched a mission to remove t...

Are you a citizen of Secular India or a puppet of religion? Does ‘oneness’ is superior or religion is? Why secularism is misused so much? Why do you think that secularism and Islam are not compatible? Recently an advertisement aroused an uproar in the commercial market and various online platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. when Tanishq jewelers launched an advertisement showing a bond between a Muslim mother-in-law and her Hindu pregnant daughter-in-law. In this ad, the th eme is related to promoting and understanding inter-religious faith by holding a ceremony of a baby shower which is Hindu faith practice and not celebrated by Muslims. Why this issue became so tensed that the company has to take down the advertisement for the safety of its employees and staff? Is it right, that on one hand we want unity and equality for all religions and on the other hand, people's sentiments get hurt when unity is portrayed in some way?   As, one set of the viewers of the adver...

Gender neutral Laws- challenge to absurd gender distinctions

Image
As our society is evolving and moving towards a new phase in every sector there is an urgent requirement to address sexual harassment not only for women but also for other genders i.e., third gender. The Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of National Legal Service Authority vs. Union of India 2014, recognized the third-gender rights and gave them reservation in the OBC category so that they can also live their life with dignity. Under this judgment, the Supreme Court has asked the central government and the state government to devise social awareness campaigns for re-establishing their respect in society.   But as soon as the third-gender i.e. LGBTQ community got recognition within the society and given opportunity to get educated and employed, they continued to face sexual harassment at the workplace. But, there is no law regarding the protection of their dignity in society if it is outraged by any random man. Addressing the same issue a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court for ...
