520 _aWomen's inferior status at home and in the society is, more often than not, associated with the lack of economic independence. Other major determinants are deficiency in education and awareness, reproductive constraints and non-remunerative domestic work. The predominance of patriarchal culture specifies their operational sphere virtually excluding women from the decision making process and marginalising their contribution to the family economic resources. In the case of Paraja tribal women even the earning capability neither endows them with equal status in the family and community nor relieves them from the torture meted out by their husbands and other relatives. The focused group of tribal women in the study were physically and psychologically tortured by men who themselves were not the primary providers, not literate. the paper highlights the situation and nature of domestic violence against a selected group of Paraja tribal women of Randapalli Gram Panchayat in Koraput district of Orissa. it also explores the status of these economically independent tribal women in the family as daughters, wives and mothers, concomitant with the domestic violence they suffer. - Reproduced.
