Abstract

Domestic violence can happen against men. This subject is still untouched by the society and the legislature but the situation on ground is very different. The Domestic Violence Act of 2005 provided protection to women as it was required by the times. But now after 18 years the condition of society is changing and men are also becoming victims of domestic violence. The aim of this research is to review three years of NCRB reports which indicates the suicides of men which were caused due to strain in domestic relations. Methodology: This research is a descriptive research that reviews the NCRB suicide data. The NCRB database of reports from 2019 to 2022 was searched to collect the data. Result: After studying the report of NCRB we get the ratio of both men and women which shows that men also commit suicide due to domestic strain. Conclusion: The definition of domestic violence against men is not defined anywhere. There is a need to research and study when domestic strain becomes domestic violence.
