| 520 | _a"In Body evidence, more than twenty scholars and health professionals uncover the unique challenges faced by victims of domestic violence in South Asian American communities. Topics include the cultural obsession with women's chastity and virginity; the continued silence surrounding intimate violence among women who identify as lesbian, bisexual or transgender; the consequences of refusing marriage proposals or failing to meet dowry demands; and, ultimately, the way in which U.S. courts often confuse and exacerbate the plights of these women.
