To combat this, India has established strong legal frameworks to protect women and offer them justice and support.

 Key Legal Rights Every Woman Must Know:

 1. Protection under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (PWDVA)

 This is the most comprehensive law that covers:

-  Physical, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse

-  Protection orders, residence rights, custody of children

-  Maintenance (financial support)

  

2. Section 498A of IPC

This section of the Indian Penal Code deals with cruelty by husband or his relatives, including dowry-related abuse. It is a cognizable, non-bailable offence.

 

3. Right to Free Legal Aid

Every woman survivor has the right to free legal assistance under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987.

 

4. Right to Shelter & Maintenance

Under PWDVA and CrPC Section 125, a woman has the right to:

-  Reside in the shared household

-  Claim monthly maintenance from her husband 

 

5. Helpline Numbers and Fast Track Courts

National WomenтАЩs Helpline: 181

Police Emergency: 112

Women can also approach Mahila Thana, NGOs, or Protection Officers appointed by the government.

 

Steps to Take If YouтАЩre Facing Domestic Abuse:

1. Call the helpline or visit the nearest police station.

2. File a complaint with the Protection Officer.

3. Seek legal aid or contact a womenтАЩs NGO for support.

4. File for protection, maintenance, or custody orders through the court.

  

Conclusion:

 No woman should suffer in silence. With the right knowledge and support, every woman can take a stand against abuse. Awareness is the first step toward empowerment.
