Even
as people's knowledge levels rise, it is becoming increasingly complex and
rooted in Indian society. Ineffective legal systems, inadequate rules of law,
and male-dominated social and political structures are all the main reasons for
crime against women. In the medieval period, the conflict between two major
cultures Islam and Hinduism greatly increased violence against women. Young
girls were obliged to marry at a young age and follow to the Purdah system in
society. Except for their husband and family, they were cut off from the rest
of the world. Crime against women begins at home at a young age and is mostly
done by family members, relatives, neighbours, and friends. Other major kinds
of crime include female infanticide, the dowry system, and bride-killings.
Women also face a lack of nutritious food, proper check-ups, forced and
unwanted marriages, educational opportunities, sexual abuse of girls, rapes
,acid attacks, honour killings and brutal behaviour by husbands and in-laws,
sexual harassment in public, at home or at work etc.
