According statistics six out of ten households admit to domestic violence within their walls, which goes to show that very little has been done so far to safeguard women in our country. The ever increasing rape cases also show that the law is lax and men don't really care where women's rights and sensitivities are concerned. A report submitted by the United Nations World Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Washington-based International Center for Research on Women substantiated these facts..Is it the mind set, feudal society we live in or the poor governance and legal system that makes women so unsafe in their own country ?

I do agree that domestic violence is found everywhere in the world. This is partly because of biological differences that exist, mainly physical strength and the age old belief that men are superior because of this ne aspect...But, to change this mindset it is not easy , will probably take centuries !

I do think that we all need to wake up and thrash the men who even beat their wives.  Wife beating cannot have a place in a decent society.  Men cannot say that they have a private life. 

No private life can be above law.  So, let us take the law into our own hands.  There is nothing wrong with neighbors giving a good thrashing of such husbands.  Apart from this, the police also needs to be chip in, arrest such men, and put them behind bars at least for a month.  The laws should be amended and the men should pay hefty fines such as one hundred thousand rupees for every bit of thrashing.  The money paid to the court can be transferred straight to the account of the wife, without the knowledge of the husband.
