destroying a others life.
It is not just about a woman who is unmarried or a teenager,or of an old age factor but
married women also suffers and go through the same as an example of domestic violence by

 BRIEF ANALYSIS
Even though the primary definition of an acid attack is given in the Indian Penal Code ,1860,
The Law Commission of India has also defined an acid attack , as a form of violence against
women where the perpetrator commits to deface or ruin a woman’s body by carrying any
corrosive substance such as an acid with him.

twice of her age threw acid on her face for rejecting his advances. The incident led her face and
other body parts disfigured.

surgeries which almost affected her mental health but with her courage and determination,

The vitriolage are intense offences the reported incident and the size of the offences
demonstrates that the crime stage is on the high level and increasing each year. Still there
are the monsters out there of the dark society who ruin a woman’s life and playing with
their life’s as well. After seeing this all we need is some strict laws and strict punishments
for the offenders which would have an a great impact on a society and the offenders for not
doing such offences . There is a need of good victim surveys at Govermental level as well.
