ABSTRACT

India is a nation where security is highly demanded and when it comes to women, it plays a crucial role. In our stereotype nation women always regarded as vulnerable beings where it’s easy for patriarchy to dominate and scare women and even to abuse them. So private defense plays a major role, it is a right which is available to every individual to secure themselves from any external harm or injury. Right of self-defense is based upon the general maxim that “necessity knows no law” and “it is primary duty of man to first help himself”.
