Gender based violence (GBV) has been pestering the society since a long time. This growing nature of GBV has spurred research to understand the causes and factors leading to GBV. This would help to execute plans and policies to eliminate GBV. Researchers have claimed that one of the driving reasons of GBV is a country’s culture which includes cultural and social norms, gender roles and social taboo. In this article, we look into cultural norms of a society that influences GBV, the psychology of culture which is capable enough to control the actions of an individual and finally the challenges that the legal system faces due to these cultural norms while enforcing law against GBV.

Gender based violence, cultural norms, violence against women, patriarchal nature.
