SHAKTI shares the why's and how's about the violent relationships. Domestic violence and reasons for this could be many. However, what's important is to identify the patterns, accept your current status and take the actions required at the earliest. My own experience of abuses I experienced during the 10 years of my abusive marriage in India. The percentage of deaths due to domestic violence is largely increasing in India, in Australia and many more countries. Mine was when I was in India. Strict laws only came into action sometime towards the end of my 10 years. There was no numbers to call in times of abuse nor did any neighbours call police even when I screamed for help.
