Abstract
Violence has many forms and the perpetrator can commit violence against the easy or vulnerable victim. The human civilization from dark ages to the today’s technological era has always witnessed in one form or the other violence against women not only by the men but by the same gender as well. Although, there are ample laws to prevent the violence against women, it is yet a distant dream to enforce those laws. This paper endeavours to highlight the lacunas in the law and its enforcement in India.
