This chapter investigates the systemic exclusion of male victims within India’s socio-legal framework, particularly following the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. While India has made significant strides in protecting women’s rights, legal recognition for male victims of domestic violence, sexual harassment, and false accusations remains critically deficient. Drawing on original empirical data from a survey of 85 respondents and a rigorous doctrinal analysis of recent jurisprudence, this study exposes the “hierarchy of victimhood” embedded in Indian statutes. The research highlights a sobering reality: over half of married male respondents reported experiencing domestic or emotional abuse, yet they lack statutory recourse parallel to protections afforded to women under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The chapter further critiques the BNS 2023 for maintaining gender-specific language in critical sections (Sections 69, 75, and 85), which the author argues violates the constitutional guarantee of equality under Articles 14 and 15 of the Indian Constitution. By situating these findings within the global discourse on gender neutrality, the chapter proposes a structured five-year roadmap for reform. Ultimately, it argues that true gender justice requires dismantling binary hierarchies to protect individuals as persons before the law, irrespective of gender.
