As the modern societies are advancing the marriage affair between two individuals within families has now become a public domain. After the domestic violence act 498A the troubles associated with marriage which can be sorted at home amicably, started shifting from house to police stations. This kind of state intervention has become inevitable because of the increasing dowry deaths, abandonment of wife and children without giving financial security or social security, property rights, domestic violence, divorce and many other issues that triggered the intervention of the state and consequent laws and legislations and invariably certain welfare measures to strengthen marital rights and responsibilities. These welfare measures, laws and legislations however, also have helped a great deal to empower women in post marriage issues and help rebuild the family ties properly in many cases.
