Domestic violence is called domestic violence. The physical, mental, emotional, verbal, psychological, or sexual abuse of a woman by someone with whom the woman has family ties is involved in domestic violence.

Who is the aggrieved person?
To take full advantage of this law, it is important to understand who is the aggrieved person or victim. If you are a woman and someone (with whom you are in a domestic relationship) misbehaves with you. So you are a victim of 'aggrieved person' under this Act since the purpose of this law is to protect women from abuse related to domestic kinship, it is also important to understand what is a domestic kinship or relationship. How else can it be? 'Domestic kinship' refers to the relationship between any two individuals in which they either live together or have ever lived in a shared household. This may include the following relationships:
(1) Bloodborne relationships (eg mother-son, father-daughter, siblings, etc.)
(2) Married relations (eg husband-wife, mother-in-law father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, widow's relations or other members of widow's family)
(3) Relationships arising from adoption/adoption (eg adopted daughter and father) Relationships such as marriage (eg live-in relationships, legally invalid marriages (eg husband married a second time, or husband and wife) Are related to blood, etc. and marriage is illegal for this reason))
(To come under the purview of domestic kinship, two people are not currently living in a shared house; for example, if the husband expels the wife from his house, then it will also come under the purview of a domestic kinship.)
Rights of the aggrieved person
When this Act comes to know about the incident of domestic violence to their Law Protection Officer, Service Provider, or Magistrate, they have to inform the victim about the following rights:
(1) The victim can apply for any relief under this law such as - Protection Order, Economic Relief, Temporary Protection of Children (Custody) Order, Residence Order, or Compensation Order.
