Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the post-legislative acid crimes situation with
reference to women status in rural Punjab after thepromulgation ‘The Acid Control
and Acid Crime Prevention Act, 2011’.The research followed qualitative research
method by using narrative research technique. The data was collected through semi- structured interviews by following volunteer sampling technique and the size of
sample relied on saturation of data. The data was analyzed by following the overall
process guided by Creswell (2013).Results showed that said law is still weak to
control the acid attacks on women in the rural areas. There are certain gaps in policy
formulation, its strong implementation and good governance and women are still
living a miserable life. It is suggested that not only the state machinery should play its
part to control and eliminate Vitriolage from the society but community should also
play its role as active citizens to fulfil their responsibility.
