The roots of sexism go back to ancient civilizations. Domestic violence, which includes all forms of abuse committed against a woman by a current or former intimate partner, is the most prevalent form of violence against women globally. In addition to the general difficulties inherent in research, studying violence against women presents unique ethical and methodological problems. Worldwide surveys indicate that one-third of women have experienced physical or sexual assault in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence against women is underreported in India. Women may not always report domestic violence for a variety of reasons. Violence against women persists in our society, and many incidents go unreported due to cultural conventions, apathy, or ignorance. This research aims to shed light on the true nature of domestic violence in the United States today. Perceptions of domestic abuse as captured in a time-bound, purposively-selected survey are the sole focus of this investigation. Tripura was chosen as the study's location because of its high ranking (fourth) in the 2015 National Crime Record Bureau survey on violence against women. Despite the study's limited scope (it only looks at the victims' sociocultural and educational backgrounds), it makes sure to critically appraise relevant literature and analyze secondary data on issues about domestic abuse and related features.
