Journal Title: Journal of Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Violence against women is any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Abuse can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure or wound someone. Domestic violence can happen to any couple irrespective of their race, age, sexual orientation, religion, gender, socio-economic backgrounds and education levels. The management of domestic violence essentially requires combined effort of law enforcement, social welfare and healthcare services. The current article throws light on three separate incidents of domestic violence, where the victim was forced to commit suicide, but employing a different method in each case e.g. hanging, burning & consuming poison.
