Abstract: Abstract ‘Domestic violence’ looks at the view of domestic abuse in family law. The law in all jurisdictions has been reluctant to interfere in cases of domestic violence. In the last few decades, the law has begun to accept that this issue is a major social problem that needs a legal reaction. There is no solid definition of domestic violence. A definition should include emotional and financial abuse. Domestic violence is not restricted to a cohabiting couple, but includes all those who live in an intimate relationship. The notion of inequality in a relationship is an important consideration in defining domestic violence.
