INTRODUCTION
Men do confess to and allege domestic violence in private, although doing so infrequently in
public. According to the secondary statistics available on various secondary sources, there will
be an increase in violence committed by women against men as a result of the changing power
dynamics, more economic independence, and increased control over the economy and
resources. The shift in power dynamics will have an effect on men's fear of losing power and
women's enthusiasm about their empowered positions, which will also have an effect on men
and women's relationships. In this case, how "power" is allocated among men and women,
husband-wife relationships, and families affects society as a whole. Women have faced
hardship for a very long time because of a power imbalance. Is it possible for this progressive
shift of power to harmonize society for the benefit of a greater community, or will it have the
reverse effect and encourage aggression by women against men? Status, authority, and
position for women are evolving. They have power and are aware of their rights. The realization
that women are not less than men and are frequently even stronger and more powerful than
males is a result of these elements, as well as education, shifting views and conventions, and
gender roles. Because of their position, they are better able to comprehend the alleged power
disparity. Male-on-male violence has not received as much attention from researchers.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner abuse, domestic abuse, dating violence, and
domestic relationship violence, is a kind of violence committed by a member of the victim's
immediate family. All family members, close friends, blood relatives, spouses, and former
spouses are covered. Are married males the only ones who can utilize this, or can women as
well? No, someone who resides with the victim and has a close relationship with them. When
two people live together as a domestic relationship, they share a home. However, given the
prevalence of nuclear families nowadays, family members from either party may also dwell at
the shared property. Therefore, the term "domestic violence" is used when the victim and the
offender are close acquaintances or relatives. The abuser and the victim frequently have
uneven authority. Because it impacts so many individuals and frequently leads to fatalities as
well as physical, emotional, and financial destruction, domestic violence is a serious public
health problem.
The Domestic Violence Act of 2005 states in Section 3 that "For the purposes of this Act, any
act, omission, conduct, or behavior of the responder shall constitute domestic violence in
circumstances where—
(a) Resulting in physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, or economic abuse; or constitutes a risk to
the injured person's physical or mental health, safety, life, limb, or well-being; or has a
propensity to do so;
(b) Puts her or any other relative in danger by threatening, harassing, injuring, or in any other
way pressuring them into obeying an unlawful demand for dowry, other property, or valuable
security; or
(c) Has the potential to put the injured person or any of her family members in risk by
participating in any of the behaviors described in subparagraphs (a) or (b); or
(d) Causes physical or mental injury to the party being injured in any other way.
As mentioned above, acts of domestic violence include:
● Threats against one's life, health, or safety, whether they be physical or mental, including
sexual, physical, verbal, emotional, or economic abuse;
● Intimidation in any form, including physical harm; harm done to the aggrieved person by
coercing him or another person in connection with any unlawful demand for dowry or
other property or valuable security;
● Other deeds that cause harm or injury.
In recent occurrences, men have been subjected to sexist abuse and denigration by their
spouses. Currently, there are no legal protections for situations where a man is attacked by his
wife. The person is therefore denied justice and is unable to lodge a complaint elsewhere.
"Visual and emotional abuse" refers to
(a) insults, jeers, humiliation, mocking, and name-calling, especially in relation to not having a
child or having a boy child;
(b) threatening to repeatedly harm anybody who the outraged party finds intriguing.
VIOLENCE: MEN AND WOMEN
Violence and aggressive behavior are human traits. Women are not exempt from this rule
(Maguire, 2010; Dobash & Dobash, 2004). Studies on the subject show that men and women
behave aggressively in relationships at almost the same rates. Additionally, both men and
women are equally inclined to encourage violence against one another. The reality of domestic
violence is surprisingly egalitarian: In about half of all cases, both couples hurt each other
(Corry, Fiebert, & Pizzey, 2002). According to Murray Straus, 25% of sexual assaults against
women are carried out by males acting alone and 25% are by women. Women are physically
aggressive and even more violent than men in their relationships with spouses or male partners,
according to Fiebert's 2007 bibliographic study of 209 studies (Dobash & Dobash, 2004; Straus
& Gelles, 1990; Morse, 1995; Moffitt, Robins, & Caspi, 2001). Undoubtedly, power relationships,
gender roles, social norms, and cultural context all have an impact on how these behaviors are
expressed. Numerous stories, books, and other forms of communication have historically
portrayed women as inferior to males. Males are thus strong, aggressive, and oppressors, whilst
women are the subjugated, quiet targets of all types of violence. Women are not allowed to be
aggressive, violent, or tyrannical because of their social status, according to gender roles and
standards that are mostly responsible for these beliefs. Power dynamics, gender roles, cultural
norms, and moral precepts are not constant over time and fluctuate. It is a common
misconception that men almost always commit crimes while women almost always become the
victims. The claim that males never become victims has a number of justifications. Many men
never even attempt to report the occurrence because they are unable to grasp the concept that
males may be the victims of domestic abuse and violence.
STATISTICS, ESTIMATES, AND DYNAMICS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN
It is generally accepted that 40 out of every 100 instances of domestic abuse entail violence
towards men, despite the fact that there hasn't been much research or documentation on this
topic in India. Few people are aware of the exact incidence of violence against men and its
underlying causes. The structure of our culture and the expectations put on males, both of
which prevent men from discussing and reporting it, are two major reasons why domestic
violence and abuse are rarely reported. Most people don't trust men who admit to assault or
domestic abuse. Men are mocked rather than listened to when they try to express their
problems, pain, disputes, and harassment in marriage and the family.Many men are ashamed to
disclose that their partners have mistreated them physically or verbally (Sarkar, Dsouza, &
Dasgupta, 2007). It's crucial to comprehend how men and women behave in terms of domestic
abuse and violence, as well as their reasons and objectives. Studies on domestic violence,
violence against men, and the dynamics of violence against men are far less common. The
most common kind of domestic abuse, according to a Save Family Foundation survey, is
economic violence (32.8%), which is followed by emotional violence (22.2%), physical violence
(25.2%), and sexual violence (17.7%). (Sarkar and others, 2007) Using a random sample
schedule developed from the WHO multi-country research on husbands' health and domestic
violence, the study interviewed 1,650 men between the ages of 15 and 49. According to the
study, the risk of violence increased considerably during the course of a marriage, especially if it
lasted longer than seven years. It also shows that aggressive partners persisted in using violent
means for the rest of their lives. It is not something that simply goes away.The study shows that
domestic violence must be addressed as a public health issue since it has a multitude of
negative health consequences, such as mental illness and stress-related ailments.The study
also shows that domestic violence affects individuals from all socio economic categories.
According to the poll, many violent spouses have advanced degrees and substantial money. For
a multitude of reasons, men tolerate and stay in abusive and violent relationships. Because they
believe that things will get better, they fear losing their status and respect, they want to protect
their families and children, or they just care about them, men may put up with domestic abuse
and violence. Many men who have been the victims of violence believe they must keep their
relationships. They fear that if something goes wrong, they will be held accountable. Many
abused men believe that they are at fault for the abuse and that it happened because of
them.From 2001 to 2005, more women than men obtained jobs, according to data from the
Labor and Jobs Ministry. Men's employment decreased by 14 lakh from 228.4 lakh in 2001 to
214.4 lakh in 2005, according to the data. (Sarkar and others, 2007) There are feelings of
sadness and fear when considering ending a relationship with an abusive man who depends on
the woman on a mental, emotional, or financial level.Violence against men is rarely viewed as
severe due to its many forms. Women often employ more mental, psychological, and emotional
violence on men than men do on them physically. Violence against men tends to have a more
subdued impact and is less noticeable to others. Males are more vulnerable to psychological
and emotional abuse. In some cases, humiliating a man emotionally in public can have a more
severe effect than using physical force.When there has been mental or emotional abuse,
women are frequently more aggressive than men. What affects a man mentally and emotionally,
however, might differ greatly from what hurts a woman. Some males may have psychological
effects from being called a coward, impotent, or a failure that are very different from what would
happen to a woman. Cruel or harsh remarks have certain effects that are more enduring.
Emotional abuse generally affects men more severely than physical abuse.
WHY VIOLENCE AGAINST MALES IS NOT REPORTED
The word "man" carries gendered connotations, signifies power, and is linked to masculine
behavior, physical traits, and emotional control (it is generally believed that men have less
emotions than women, although no scientific evidence isavailable). For a number of reasons,
men who experience violence in their marriages or other personal relationships frequently
attempt to hide it.
1. Male Stereotype
● Men frequently encounter prejudice or concern while speaking out against the violence
they witness because they worry about being judged and called wimpy and sissy. They
think that the gender-specific rules and regulations in the Indian Constitution would make
their battle against violence ineffectual. They feel that they have failed in their roles as
the family's defenders and providers.
2. Fear
● Men often think that reporting the assault would be too difficult and that doing so may
have legal repercussions under our Constitution's provisions that are biased towards
men or women. They feel they must leave their family even if they do not want to go
through the drawn-out process of losing custody of their kids.
3. Societal Pressure
● The majority of Indians stay with their families after getting married. Men are thus
reluctant to discuss the violence in public. Society actively supports laws and cultural
practices that discriminate against one gender.
4. Denial
● The great majority of individuals believe that domestic violence mostly affects women.
Even after being informed of this, many still refuse to accept that males may experience
domestic abuse. No one really wants to talk about it as a result.
LAWS IN INDIA
The Indian Penal Code, 1860 provides a legal remedy for male domestic abuse victims, and the
court may impose prison time, fines, or other penalties.
1. Anyone is considered to have committed the crime of injury under Section 319 if they
cause the bodily discomfort, sickness, or incapacity of another person. While Section
320 addresses serious wounds including fractures, the gradual loss of function in a limb
or body part, or wounds that endanger a person's life. The Sections 321 and 322 of the
Code address the impulse to intentionally harm people. If someone is intentionally
harmed, they might spend up to a year in jail, pay a fine of up to $1,000, or both (Section
323). For serious injury, a fine and up to seven years in jail are possible penalties
(Section 324).
2. Unlawful imprisonment and confinement are likewise covered under Sections 339 to
348, with a three-year maximum term. An individual who has been the victim of any of
the aforementioned behaviors may seek protection under these Sections of the Indian
Penal Code, 1860 as domestic abuse frequently involves aspects of suffering,
constraint, and imprisonment.
3. Sections 349 through 352, 355 & 357 concern assault and crimes involving the use of
illegal force. They offer redress for individuals who want to physically hurt another
person or who use unlawful force to do so. Maximum penalties include a fine of $5,000,
five years in jail, or both. The main distinction between the IPC's remedies and those
offered by the Domestic Violence Act is that the IPC has a penal focus and frequently
entails jail time.Even though men are not specifically covered by domestic violence laws,
it is still advisable to follow the IPC in order to safeguard one's legal rights. As a result of
several decisions defending a man's rights when he experiences difficulties, violence, or
other issues in his marital home, the legal system is continually changing. Realizing that
males can face domestic violence from both their own families and the families of their
wives or partners is equally crucial. Along with physical abuse, emotional and
psychological abuse also occurs in relationships.The Save Family Foundation (Delhi)
reports that at least 85% of the male survey participants reported having been the
victims of psychological abuse. Only the nature of the responses—whether they be
emotional, physical, or sexual—differ depending on patterns of living, traditions, culture,
and opportunity. The same protections afforded to women under Section 498A, which
provide them the possibility to have their rights protected, do not apply to male victims of
abuse.
4. As per Section 24 of The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, both men and women are entitled to
maintenance while the case is still being considered. In these cases, the court considers
the couple's total income for determining support. However, a male does not get the
same right under the Special Marriage Act. Under the exemption stipulated by Section
125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the husband may decide not to pay support if the
wife left the marital home without a valid reason. Any male who has been the victim of
violence of any kind is always qualified to register a FIR under any applicable IPC
Sections or submit a Writ Petition to protect his right to life and liberty. In India,
legislation pertaining to men's rights is being established, and the courts have started
providing harmed men with adequate legal recourse in cases of domestic abuse.
Although it's likely that separate legislation won't be ready anytime soon, precedents and
revisions will help to paint a clear picture of a system for defending rights. There is no
denying that violence affects everyone, regardless of gender, even though it occurs at
different rates. This only deals with the issue that is truly doing irreparable harm; it does
not lessen the challenges that either gender faces. Legislation that is gender-neutral
shouldn't be enforced until social equality has been attained. Men might seek reparation
in a number of ways. There will always be a solution as long as there is a procedure in
place to safeguard men's rights
DEFENSES AVAILABLE TO MEN
By making a fake complaint, women utilize Section 498A and the Dowry Act as weapons
against their husbands. In order to satisfy their unlawful demands, a husband, his parents, and
other family members may be charged with cruelty to a wife under Section 498A of the Indian
Penal Code (dowry). The spouse, his parents, and other family members are frequently
detained for a long time without being given a full inquiry. Even if the complaint is untrue, the
accused is assumed guilty unless proven innocent in court. The maximum sentence for a
conviction is three years in jail.
Therefore, a man in this circumstance has two options for a defense strategy:
1. Defensive Approach
● Collect all the technological proof you can against his wife. He and his family have never
been accused of making dowry demands or engaging in any type of violence, according
to calls, chats, and other recorded exchanges.
● Submit a request for anticipatory bail if a FIR is filed against him.
● Inform the police of any extortion or fabrications. However, there are times when the
police fail to make a report because they don't trust the spouse. The husband may write
the SP or Commissioner in this case.
● Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act permits the husband to request the restoration of
conjugal rights.
● Dealing with the offender is not advised.
● As many individuals as you can should be informed of your predicament.
● The website http://www.pmindia.gov.in/en/interact-with-honble-pm/ allows a spouse to
record these offenses as well. He might also write to the Web information Manager,
Rasina Hill, South block, New Delhi - 110011 with a complaint.
2. Offensive Approach
● The most effective defense for the spouse is provided under Section 227 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1973. The husband may submit an application under the clause
establishing the terms of release if he can demonstrate that the wife is leveling
unfounded charges.
● Under Indian Penal Code Section 120B, a spouse may claim that his wife is complicit in
a criminal plot against him.
● The police personnel who chose not to submit a police report and/or assisted the wife in
making up a fake complaint may also be held accountable under Section 167 of the
Indian Penal Code. Also pertinent is Section 182 of the Indian Penal Code.
● The husband may file a defamation lawsuit against his wife under Sections 500 and 504
of the Indian Penal Code since her false statements have harmed his reputation.
SUPREME COURT’S VIEW
In a number of instances, the Supreme Court has harshly punished women who have filed
fictitious charges against their spouses. They provide several noteworthy examples, such as:
1. Arnesh Kumar Vs. State of Bihar
● Facts
The woman said that she was compelled to pay dowry and that when she refused, she
was kicked out of the marital home. The partner's anticipated bail was not authorized. As
a result, the spouse filed a special leave petition with the Supreme Court.
● Held
The court in this case highlighted that resentful spouses usually use Section 498A as a
weapon rather than a shield because it is a cognizable and non-bailable violation. It is
particularly distressing to see bedridden grandmothers and grandparents imprisoned in
accordance with this Section without a strong enough first suspicion. The husband and
his family suffer torture as a result of their incarceration in accordance with this Section.
The Court found that a police officer must follow specific rules while making an arrest
according to Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 or Section 4 of the Indian
Penal Code, and that such an arrest must be justified by a reasonable belief in the
validity of the charge. Furthermore, even Magistrates need to exercise caution when
granting routine or arbitrary detention.
2. Manju Ram Kalita Vs. State of Assam
● Facts
According to Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, the woman filed a complaint
alleging that her husband had physically and psychologically abused her. On the other
hand, the spouse has refuted every accusation.
● Held
The court found that although Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code may be different
from other statutory regulations, "cruelty" for such causes must be taken into
consideration in Section 498-A's context.
Among other things, it should be evaluated by examining the man's activities, evaluating
their significance or seriousness, and figuring out whether they are likely to inspire the
woman to commit suicide. It must be demonstrated that the lady has constantly been
treated cruelly, or at the very least, that this has been the case since the complaint was
submitted. The Court continued by stating that while minor disputes cannot be classified
as "cruelty," Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code does not apply to them.
3. Bibi Parwana Khatoon Vs. State of Bihar
● Facts
The woman was burned to death by the husband and family members, which was a
repeating theme in earlier incidents. The Supreme Court heard an appeal of the
conviction from the deceased wife's sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
● Held
The appellants in this instance did not even reside in the region where the catastrophe
took place, the court remarked. There was insufficient evidence to prove their claim to be
true. The Court exonerated them as a consequence and decided that it should cease
accusing relatives in the wrong.
4. Rajesh Kumar & Ors. Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh
● Facts
Since no dowry was required in this instance, the husband and numerous other family
members were accused of abusing the woman. However, some relatives requested that
rules be established to prevent over implication. As a result, the husband's relatives may
occasionally take part in Section 498A proceedings as well. However, it is not essential
for them to have taken part in the crime. The appeal raised the issue of whether
regulations were necessary to stop the abuse of Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.
● Held
To avoid the abuse of Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, the Supreme Court gave
thorough instructions in the following areas:
1. Family Welfare Committees: According to the Supreme Court, each district must
have a Family Welfare Committee that investigates complaints submitted in
accordance with Section 498A.
2. To investigate the complaint, an Investigating Officer should be tasked. The
problem is resolved when a settlement has been achieved.
3. Passports will be seized after receiving a Red Corner Notice.
4. Bail regulations have also altered.
5. Cases involving the same parties may be grouped together.
6. All family members no longer require to be physically appealing.
Offenses causing actual physical harm or deaths, according to the Court, are excluded from
these rules. The National Legal Services Authority was also given instructions by the Supreme
Court, with the addition that it may submit a report for any modifications to the previously issued
instructions or additional instructions after a six-month trial period, but no later than March 31,
2018.

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CURB THIS ADVANCING MENACE
ON
The values, culture, and customs of society have recently undergone tremendous change as a
result of modernization and westernization. Men were once considered to be the protectors of
their families, but today both sexes work, care for their families, and manage their houses,
contributing equally to revenue.
Men are beginning to openly discuss the domestic violence they have endured as well as their
pain, unhappiness, and struggles. Women are no longer physically superior to men. It is past
time for laws and regulations to acknowledge this problem as one that has a significant impact
on society as a whole. Domestic violence against men may be recognised with the aid of
efficient legal changes, public awareness campaigns, and the eradication of stereotypes and
preconceived notions.
False allegations against males are increasing, which is a significant issue since they infringe
upon fundamental human rights. Everyone is aware of the issue and how women take use of
legal protections to fulfill their illegal demands on their husbands. Section 498A is particularly
punitive on males since it cannot be compounded. To guarantee that men and women are
treated equally, the government has recently recommended changes to the legislation.
In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court made various suggestions to stop the unjustified
imprisonment of men in 498A cases, demonstrating that the court is actively working to improve
the lives of Indian men. The extensive abuse of Section 489A has also resulted in important
rulings in favor of males. According to a recent ruling, making a false claim against one's
spouse qualifies as grounds for divorce.
Though not at the necessary rate given the urgent issue, the nation is nevertheless progressing.
