Description of the health issue:
Domestic violence is a problem that does not include not only physical violence but also
mental violence. Domestic violence can be defined as the behaviour that is done to gain
power, attention, and control over a spouse, daughter-in-law, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, or
any other close family member. This can be termed as abuse, which is a learned behaviour,
which is exaggerated with the due course of time, or sometimes it may be enhanced by the
consumption of various kinds of drugs as well as alcohol. The violence can be of two types
that are mental as well as physical that is done to the victims, which may result in serious
health issues due to the acts of beatings, threatening's, etc. sometimes the incidents become
that much serious that it leads to the death of the victims.
The person who performs the acts of domestic violence never bothers about the feelings and
sufferings of the victims, and this gives birth to criminal acts. Abuses can be of different
types like sexual, emotional, isolation, verbal abuse, and economic abuse that lead to the
harm for the life expectancy and individual health. Among the above-mentioned types of
abuse, physical and emotional violence leads to serious issues to the health of the people who
are victimized (Are et al. 2019).

Identifying a particular population that is affected by this health problem:
The victims of the marital violence are seen maximum in the women population of the
different countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, etc. Women population of the
countries face these types of abuses after they migrate to their in-law's house. Women
population are considered as the inferior community in the society in these countries where
they are forced to live and lead theirs according to the wish of their family, society or the
community (Mills, Hill& Johnson, 2018).
The women population are entirely dominated by the male population of the society in these.
It is evident from different types of sources that women suffer the consequence of men’s
violence that is the reason of male empowerment that makes the incidents of domestic
violence happens in the lives of the women population. Domestic violence also has a
different dimension, which causes restriction to the activities and freedom of the women in
the society of these countries (Iratzoqui & McCutcheon, 2018). There are different type
evidences of physical abuses in the case of women in society. As a result, the women
population of these countries are crippled to some extent in this society as they cannot enjoy
their freedom and their miserable conditions are caused by their own family members or
nearer and dearer ones. In some of the cases female of relatively lower age, face various
kinds of violent acts caused by their nearer and dearer ones.
In addition to this, there are some evidences where male are also becoming victims of
physical abuse that is a part of domestic violence. These acts are done by the spouses,
brothers, etc. that may be the reason their poor physical and mental health (Alves, Manita,
Caldas, Fernández-Martinez, Gomes da Silva& Magalhães, 2019).
On the contrary, the acts of domestic violence’s are not only confined to the women
population but also the old individuals of the family. Their children do this when they grow
old, and they treat their parents as an unwanted thing in the family and compel them to leave
their house in their old age.
Effect of a health problem on the identified population:
Effects of domestic violence may be long lasting, profound, and varied. Survivors may need
assistances after many years of the acts of domestic violence. It has a wide range of negative
consequences that leads to the death of the victims. As per the representation of the various
sources about the victims of familial violence, it is evident that the rates are showing the
