Abstract:

Domestic violence is a form of abuse that occurs in a domestic setting, such as in a marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence is also known as domestic abuse or family violence. Domestic violence is often used as a synonym for intimate partner violence, which is committed by one of the people in an intimate relationship against the other person and can take place in either heterosexual or same-sex relationships or between former spouses or partners. In its broadest sense, domestic violence also involves violence against children, parents, or the elderly; beating; female genital mutilation; acid throwing; and the use of technology to harass, control, monitor, stalk, or hack. Domestic murder includes stoning, bride burning, honor killing, and dowry death, which sometimes involves non-cohabitating family members.
