Abstract: This paper first deals with the definitions of violence, and analyses how in contemporary times,
they are extremely limited as they only cover physical abuse. It then analyses the depths of
emotional violence and how the domestic becomes the site of such exploitation and abuse for
women. Further, we trace the life of ordinary women - from the time of birth to the time of their
death, analysing and understanding the violence they face at each stage. These stages include the
natal home, the conjugal home and old age. The paper explores the inherent and subtle ways in
which women are treated as alien and external beings. The conclusion looks at the importance to
documenting emotional violence as a legitimate kind of violence and the need for mass
populations to understand the feminist agenda in a more nuanced manner.
