Domestic violence does not solely mean physical violence. The violence can be in multiple forms. The most common form is physical abuse. This involves beating, torturing and causing physical harm. Sexual abuse can also involve forcefully making a victim watch or make obscene movies. Domestic violence can involve verbal and emotional abuse, including humiliation, calling names or ignoring them. Preventing women from completing their education, from working and threatening to harm them contributes to mental abuse. Some women also face economic abuse. Their property or wealth might be used by someone else while depriving the women of economic resources. Domestic violence is any behaviour with the purpose to gain power and control over spouse or partner. Reena's maid is experiencing physical abuse. Both Reena's mother and her aunt are experiencing verbal and emotional abuse.
