Debabrata Roy

Abstract :

Violence Against women is a matter or serious concern all over the world and India has also witnessed subjection of women to different kinds of violence. India has a rich heritage of respecting women and placing women to a high position in Indian society but in reality Indian women are subjected to violence such as dowry death, domestic violence, sexual exploitation, treating the women with cruelty and so on. One of the most serious victimization of Indian women is domestic violence or subjecting the women to cruelty. This cruelty to the wife is of two kinds which are subjecting the women to physical cruelty and subjecting the women to mental cruelty. This paper is an attempt to explore the meaning of mental cruelty and to highlight the circumstances where the meaning of mental cruelty changes with reference to a statute for which the concept of mental cruelty is interpreted and the judicial interpretations which from time to time has added new dimensions to the concept of cruelty.
