Domestic violence continues to persist in India with one-third of married women facing physical, emotional or sexual abuse. The prevalence of domestic violence amongst Christians is underestimated by all sections of the church, especially by leaders and pastors. This research set out to study the perception of the church on domestic violence, map its responses, identify gaps and suggest ways to move forward. Contrary to popular expectations that the church should be doing better in comparison to the world outside, the research found that it is not doing nearly enough. The church is unaware of how entrenched domestic violence is amongst Christians. The study underscored the fact that the church has largely failed to be counter-cultural and subversive and has often been guilty of silencing women and reinforcing hierarchy through wrong Biblical interpretation and teaching.
