ABSTRACT

Domestic violence is going on for several decades in Indian patriarchal society. But this is the time of the modern era. It’s a time to change women’s animated existence. Women becoming educated and in every field of life, they stand with men shoulder to shoulder. This study highlights the impact of modernization on domestic violence. Attitude towards Domestic Violence Scale (Soni & Behmani, 2018) and The Modernization Scale (Singh, Tripathi & Lal, 1979) were administered to a sample of 480 women. Using SPSS IBM 20, bivariate correlation and regression analysis were applied to analyze the data. High correlation was found between modernization and domestic violence. Regression analysis shows predictors of domestic violence. Education and position of women can predict the suppression of women and women’s justification of domestic violence. Socio-religious belief and education can predict the husband’s superiority. The age of marriage can predict women’s justification for domestic violence. According to the results of the present study, it can be stated that education is the sole predictor of domestic violence.
