It is helpful for people to call the police for security as well as to hire home workers to take care of old people. In rural regions, women have no awareness about it because of the lack of education. Her daily routine is very hard because she has to fulfill her responsibilities and to look after children. In these areas, women have no access to legislation or other law organizations. Even, they do not have the awareness that domestic violence is a crime. This is the reason they cannot file a divorce case.
