ABSTRACT
Every year, India has the largest number of acid assaults in the world, and despite the measures of the Indian government and the Supreme Court of India, activity is on the rise.This rise might be traced to India's patriarchal culture as well as the country's ineffective judicial system. This does not provide victims with effective remedies. This article will explore the prevalence of acid attacks in India, the motivations for the attacks, the consequences for victims, and inadequacies in the procedures put in place to prevent crime as well as provide justice to victims.
