Abstract
Violence against women is widespread in every country, crossing across boundaries of culture, class, education, money, ethnicity and age. Even though most civilizations prescribe violence against women, yet the fact is that breaches of women’s human rights are often sanctioned under the garb of cultural traditions and conventions, or via misinterpretation of religious teachings. It is one of the most ubiquitous of human rights violations, denying women and girl’s equality, security, dignity, self-worth, and their right to enjoy fundamental freedoms. Domestic abuse takes place across all tribes and cultures. Various research have showed that miscommunication between the husband and the wife, adultery, economic discrepancy between men and women, demand for dowry, uncaring attitude of in-laws, infertility etc. are common causes of domestic violence. Based on a sample of 200 respondents picked from Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh the study explores the societal reasons of domestic violence against rural women. A stratified random sample strategy was employed to obtain information from female victims of domestic violence recruited from rural parts of Chhatarpur district. For the present study, an explanatory research design was adopted. The research provides important insights into the link between gender inequality and discrimination as root cause of violence against women, and in identifying the socioeconomic causes of domestic violence and their nature against rural women in Madhya Pradesh.
