Residential viciousness has been straight missing related to each sorts of speedy and long term physical and mental harm to each human being. Family violence has dynamically been recognized not because it were as an issue of human rights but as well as a veritable open prosperity concern. Unfortunately, Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world and it’s estimated about the number of victims of domestic violence people. Moreover, Bangladesh had been recognized by UDHR, ICCPR, and ICESCR to protect from gender-based domestic violence and especially CEDAW, DEVAW for preventing women’s rights from domestic violence. In our country, we have a special act which is “The Domestic Violence Protection and Prevention Act, 2010” for preventing domestic violence. But there is a question as to how far it has been implemented to protect their rights. When it turns into gender-based household viciousness, it doesn’t incorporate as it were ladies. Or maybe it incorporates all human starts counting males, females, children and Transgender. In this research paper, I have tried to examine the scope and limitations of the law to protect individuals from domestic violence to uphold their rights. The notion of gender-based domestic violence is not only limited to the violence that takes place in society but also violence that takes place in their families. It is visible that there has been major development in establishing their rights in many countries. But unfortunately, Bangladesh is struggling to ensure gender-based rights. Other than women, often men are becoming a victim of domestic violence but those incidents remain unreported. Most of the time, Children and transgender are also becoming the victims of domestic violence socially. So, in this research paper, I have attempted to center on the scope of the law, execution of law requirement and the restrictions beneath the law to anticipate domestic violence to guarantee their legitimate Equity.

Ahasanul Huque Family Courts play a vital role in delivering family justice in Bangladesh by offering specialized forums for resolving disputes that emerge from family relationships. The creation of these courts acknowledges that family-related conflicts demand a unique judicial approach, which harmonizes legal rights with broader social and welfare considerations. This study explores the jurisdiction and operational scope of Family Courts in Bangladesh, with special focus on the legal structure introduced by the Family Courts Act, 2023. The main objectives of this research are to examine the legal basis of Family Court jurisdiction, assess the extent of their authority in family matters, review judicial interpretations regarding their powers, and highlight the key challenges that hinder the efficient delivery of family justice. The study employs a doctrinal research method, relying on the analysis of relevant statutes, court judgments, legal commentaries, and academic publications in the field of family law and Family Court jurisdiction. The research finds that Family Courts hold exclusive jurisdiction over key issues such as dissolution of marriage, restitution of conjugal rights, dower, maintenance, guardianship, and child custody. It also shows that judicial interpretations have played a significant part in shaping Family Court jurisprudence by resolving jurisdictional uncertainties and reinforcing legal safeguards for women and children. The Supreme Court of Bangladesh has consistently followed a welfare-centric approach, especially in cases involving maintenance and child custody, thereby advancing substantive justice and overall family well-being. Despite notable legislative improvements, the study identifies several ongoing challenges faced by Family Courts, including heavy case backlogs, prolonged delays in case disposal, difficulties in executing decrees, jurisdictional overlaps, insufficient infrastructure and resources, and low public awareness about family rights and available remedies. These issues frequently obstruct the goal of providing prompt and effective justice. In conclusion, the Family Courts Act, 2023 has significantly modernized the legal framework for handling family disputes and has enhanced the institutional role of Family Courts in Bangladesh. Nevertheless, additional reforms in legislation, institutional capacity, procedures, and technology are essential to improve their overall performance and efficiency. The study recommends stronger enforcement mechanisms, increased allocation of judicial manpower and resources, wider use of alternative dispute resolution, better legal aid provisions, and enhanced public awareness campaigns to ensure broader access to family justice. An efficient and responsive Family Court system is indispensable for protecting family rights, advancing social justice, ensuring the welfare of women and children, and upholding fair administration of justice in Bangladesh.

It explores how structural inequalities, political dynamics, institutional weaknesses, and socio-economic conditions contribute to patterns of crime, deviance, and collective violence. The study integrates major criminological theories, including strain theory, conflict theory, social disorganization theory, labeling theory, and radical criminology, to explain the underlying factors of unrest. The research adopts a qualitative and analytical approach, relying on secondary sources such as books, journal articles, legal documents, and institutional reports. Findings indicate that social and political unrest in Bangladesh is a multidimensional phenomenon influenced by economic inequality, political polarization, corruption, youth unemployment, rapid urbanization, and weak institutional governance. Urban centers such as Dhaka are particularly significant in shaping and intensifying these dynamics due to population density and political concentration. The study concludes that unrest is not merely a law-and-order issue but a structural and institutional problem rooted in broader socio-political conditions. It recommends comprehensive reforms focusing on reducing inequality, strengthening governance, ensuring rule of law, and promoting inclusive development to achieve long-term social stability Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://suspace.su.edu.bd/handle/123456789/2935 2026-06-25T00:00:00Z
