CONCLUSION

Although the nature of atrocities on females as listed above is not

conclusive, it is enough to indicate clearly the motive behind all these
infamous deeds are due to as follows :-

(1) Fanatical belief of man of having a male child instead of a girl child.

(2) Insatiable greed for dowry and passion for leading a comfortable or
luxurious life by utilizing women as the key gadgets to extract easy money
from their parents.

(3) Jealousy and hatred

(4) Satisfaction of ones sexual appetite growing out of passion for having
illegal sex and infatuation.

(5) Utilising women as precious commodity to breed money.

RECCOMENDATION
The Government of India should come out with some more stringent laws to
protect the rights of women who are victims of violence of any kind
occurring within the family, so that it will work as the preventive measure
to eradicate the crime. A strict law to be passed to punish those women who
are filing a false compliant against husband or relatives by misusing of
Domestic Violence Act so that there will be fair justice to all.
