Are men defenceless against domestic violence laws? What SC says about men's rights in these cases

domestic violence and women can be the perpetrators. There are no existing laws that protect men under the purview of domestic violence.
Recognising that a person is being abused is extremely difficult, as a lot of domestic abuse takes place behind closed doors. The four main reasons for the underreporting of domestic violence cases against Indian men are general stereotypes against males, fear of fake cases, societal and family pressure, and denial.

The social, cultural, and emotional barriers in society prevent us from recognising the victimisation of men by women.

What is the definition of domestic violence as per Indian laws?

Domestic violence can be defined as spousal abuse, family violence, domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, or intimate partner abuse, wherein the partner being abused is called the victim and the partner abusing is called the perpetrator, or the aggressor or in legal terms, the accused.
Domestic violence is important in many areas of legal doctrine, such as family law and the law of torts. However, the criminal justice system places maximum pressure on the cultural images of victimised women, making it a completely gender-biased issue wherein men are only considered the perpetrators of violence. The major causes of such violent behaviour of women include various factors like low income of the family, disparity in the education/income of the partners, jealousy, anger, gaining control and dominance in a relationship, or addiction of any kind.
