Description

The term “domestic violenceÀ is often associated with the image of an irate viciously bashing a helpless woman into submission.

Such terms often stir gender activist into action as they bay for blood of the alleged perpetrators.

In the past screaming newspaper headlines announcing such cases of domestic violence were very common but things seem to have taken a new twist in recent years.

Cases of women before appealing the courts facing accusations of perpetrating domestic violence against their spouses have become wide spread.
