Abstract
With the passing of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005 the Indian legal system has stepped into a social space that has hitherto remained unwilling to lend itself to legislation - the home and family, and the violence faced within the same. This paper is an evaluation of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, and attempts an analysis on the twofold ground of content and implementation - that is, both on grounds of what the Act provides for, and whether the same may actually be implemented successfully. The note therefore looks at the aims and objectives of the Act, and in this light, examines the concept of domestic violence as enshrined in the Act, the procedures and remedies that the Act provides for, and the issues that may arise in the implementation of the same.
