What Does Domestic Abuse Entail?

By Andrea Davidson


Domestic abuse is also known as domestic violence, family violence, spousal violence, dating abuse or battery. In some books its also referred to intimate partner violence. Domestic violence is defined as the pattern of behavior that comprises exploitation by one person against another or even one partner against one another.

The mistreatment sometimes comprises a close relationship like dating, cohabitation, marriage and sometime within the family. Domestic exploitation can take some forms like: sexual exploitation, threats, emotional manipulation, economic deprivation and physical assault.

Home mistreatment are linked to mental illness, alcohol consumption and present tests that are incurred while eliminating the act. The perception, documentation, definition, and awareness of manipulation differ from one state to another or from one country to country.

Home exploitation and violence is not only limited to the recognizable to the physical violence. It can also be said to be criminal coercion, trespassing, kidnapping, endangerment, unlawful imprisonment, stalking and harassment. It therefore means that before one conclude that the act amounts to domestic violence, some elements has to be looked at.

The statutes or rules regulating exploitations may differ from one state to another state. For example the definition of mistreatment in developing countries may vary from the definition of violence in the western world. In countries such as the United Arabs Emirates, a man is allowed to physically beat the partner and the act does not amount to the act. This was precedent that was set by the Supreme Court.

The social suitability of mistreatment as well also differs from one county to another. For example in the developed countries, internal mistreatment is unacceptable by most people. On the other hand the violence is accepted in some countries for example, in countries such as Mali, Central African Republic, Afghanistan and Jordan and Guinea the husband has the right to hit or beat their spouses under some circumstances.

In these countries for example, a wife is beaten if she is refusing to submit to the husband wishes. These are enough justification for violence in these developing countries. In some countries such as Tajikistan a woman is beaten by the husband if she refuses to have sex with him.

Occasionally most cultures allowed men to apply force on the wives as way of disciplining them. It was observed as legal right that no woman could sue the hubby for exploitations. However this legal right was removed in some countries like the United States of America and other European countries. It was removed because the cat was perceived to be biased and only favored one form of gender that is the men.

The survey done by the UNICEF revealed that domestic mistreatment is common and is a major problem in most of the developing countries. The problem is also common in countries recovering from political wars. According to the data given, 2in 3 women is exploited in her lifetime. These women are mistreated by their spouses whom they live with. All the interested parties should therefore be included to help fight the domestic violence.
