Abstract :

Over 40 million children under the age of 18 live in India. According to a WHO report, one in three women have been the victim of sexual or physical abuse at some point in their lives. Domestic violence is an unavoidable reality. According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), 2019–2021, 3.1 percent of pregnant Indian women between the ages of 18 and 49 experienced physical violence during their pregnancy, and 29.3 percent of married Indian women between the ages of 18 and 49 have experienced domestic or sexual violence. The world is aware of these reported lodged figures. The irony is that the majority of these cases in our nation go unreported. The future of this country, or "the children," is the answer to the question of who is most impacted by these acts. When children see their parents acting violently, it has a profound effect on their mental health. This essay looks at the effects of seeing such behavior at home and how it relates to sexual and juvenile delinquency. Key Words: Juvenile Delinquency, Sexual Delinquency, Domestic Violence, Children, Spousal Violence
