Abstract
Fear and anxiety are factors strongly associated with the pandemic and exacerbate the pre‐existing rate of domestic violence. Drawing evidence from popular media and existing literature, it is possible to study domestic violence in present‐day society and try to analyze the cycle of violence. During the lockdown, on‐screen media such as cinema and streaming platforms have become popular. Archaic remnants of patriarchal ethos may leave the father as a passive observer and creates barriers for the involvement of the father. Inculcating a sense of moral pride in the father regarding the daughter and daughter in law will improve family dynamics and reduce the rates of violence. As times are changing, paradigm shifts in policy and program regarding the interventions are necessary for a more fluid and suitable response by the government and community‐based organizations to cater to modern society.
