Overview:

Lawyers Collective, Women’s Rights Initiative, prepared a draft law—The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA)—in consultation with women’s groups from across the country to ensure emergency relief to women facing domestic violence. This law was passed by the Indian Parliament in 2005 and was brought in force by the government on 26 October 2006.

Conflict in the Shared Household takes stock of the progress made towards achieving the objectives of the PWDVA during the first decade of its implementation. It examines the nature of structural inequality that perpetuates and condones domestic violence as a lesser ‘wrong’ and traces the history of the fight against domestic violence in India, focusing on legislative developments and themes relating to state accountability in terms of providing a supportive framework.

The essays discuss critical issues such as right to residence, marital rape, rights of cohabitees or relationship in the nature of marriage, secular nature of the PWDVA, and its harmonious existence with personal law and criminal law. The volume also covers areas where the PWDVA has been successful in providing protection alongside challenges yet to be overcome, such as the response mechanisms and budgetary constraints in its implementation.
