Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the criminal tendencies in the domestic violence survivors and assessing the possibilities of crime being committed by the survivors in the future. The ideology around which the study revolved is the social suppression of females in Indian society leading to female criminality. It is a phenomenological study design and the data was collected using semi- structured interview. The sample included fifteen females who had been the victims of domestic violence at some point of their life after marriage (N=15). The analysis and the interpretation of the obtained data was done using thematic analysis. It was found in this qualitative research that the females were inclined towards inflicting pain to their husbands/in-laws and exhibited a tendency to indulge in behaviours that are unacceptable by law and society to gain and attain justice for themselves.
