E-mail: rahul_rk2004@yahoo.co.in Online published on 27 June, 2017. Abstract In India women face violence at every stage of their life cycle. Violence Against Women (VAW) is enacted in the practices of female foeticide, female infanticide, girl-child neglect, physical and sexual abuse, child marriage, eve-teasing, sexual harassment in the work place, domestic violence and even dowry death. On 23rd June 2005 the cabinet approved the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Bill, after which it received assent from Parliament. This approval brings to the fore a new civil law on domestic violence, which provides immediate emergency remedies for women facing violence. These include: protection orders; non-molestation orders; and the right to reside in the shared household. The present paper is a case study of Domestic Violence Against Women, in Chitapur Taluk, Gulbarga district of karnataka state in India and the impact of domestic violence on women. In view of this the paper focuses on how domestic violence has taken shape and the findings of the paper will be drown by observing into the primary data as well as field observations and interview with the respondents. Thus the paper will discuss effective implementation of the policies and programmes for the eradication of domestic violence on women.
