    Question

    Which among the following is not related to the protection of women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 ?

    A.

    Sexual abuse of a woman by her husband

    B.

    Verbal and emotional threats within a household

    C.

    Economic exploitation of a woman in a household

    D.

    Social discrimination on grounds of a woman's caste

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (d) Social discrimination on grounds of a woman's caste.
    The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (PWDVA) is a landmark legislation in India that specifically addresses the issue of domestic violence against women. The Act defines domestic violence as any act or behavior that causes harm or injury to a woman, whether physical, psychological, emotional, or economic.
    The PWDVA provides a range of protection for women who are victims of domestic violence, including:
    • Right to reside in shared household: A woman has the right to reside in the same household as her husband or partner, even if she does not have any right, title, or beneficial interest in the same.
    • Protection orders: A woman can obtain a protection order from a magistrate, which can prohibit her husband or partner from committing acts of domestic violence, order him to leave the shared household, and provide her with monetary relief.
    • Maintenance: A woman has the right to claim maintenance from her husband or partner, if he is able to pay it.
    The PWDVA does not address social discrimination on grounds of a woman's caste. This type of discrimination is addressed by other laws, such as the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
    Therefore, the answer is (d) Social discrimination on grounds of a woman's caste is not related to the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
