This article discusses the issue of domestic violence in India. It highlights how patriarchy, in the name of family values and tradition, is reflected in the recent parliamentary act and the legal system pertaining to domestic violence. Male privilege as a cause in the perpetuation of domestic violence is discussed through both men's and women's life cycles. The article highlights possible solutions to the crisis of domestic violence with reference to men's organizations in some countries that are trying innovative approaches to counter the crisis, and where India can culturally create the space for sensitizing men to the current crisis.
