Women is not only a bread distributor but she is also a bread winner. she is working shoulder to shoulder with men. A women role in her family is very significant. She behaves as a daughter and sister then she becomes wife and after that a mother, In all these capacities ,she has to fulfill vital responsibilities in maintain peace in the household and shaping the future of the family. The family expands to become a society and thus women’s role is also extended automatically. Even in the ancient, Indian women held a high place of respect in the society as mentioned in Rig-Veda and other scriptures. Volumes can be written about the status of our women and their heroic deeds from the Vedic period to the modern times. But later on, because of social, political and economic changes, women lost their status and were relegated to the background. Many evil customs and traditions stepped in which enslaved the women and tied them to the boundaries of the house. Marriage is an institution in our society, In sociologists view real life begins with marriage only, hence the tragedy of a marriage-break up- divorce to say precisely is considered to be a sin ,as per our traditions. Domestic violence is still on the increase and becoming more bold direct. Some of the legislative and judiciary processes are showing positive signs but they are not sufficient enough. Violence against married Indian women by their NRI husbands which were earlier restricted to isolated cases has now become a major social problem. This issue is of recent origin because of its sensitive nature and family influence; no rigorous efforts have taken place. Moreover, these women do not speak about the violence or crimes they have been subjected to, because of social stigma attached
