Abstract:The definition of domestic violence is not tied to whether people involved live together or they are related, but if they have intimate relationships, especially in which one is controlled by another. As domestic violence persists and involves controlling behaviour, the legal rulings in relation to the outcome of injuries from domestic violence cannot be the same as those in other types of violence. The existing approaches to domestic violence including non-interference, no reporting, and mediation have not taken into account the characteristics of domestic violence and thus, constrain the effectiveness of the fight against domestic violence. Likewise, the distribution of responsibility to present evidence should also be different from other types of violence. On the application of protection orders for one's safety, the law should decide that it can be applied individually, and enforced as the conditions require and to avoid two way protection orders. It is important to separate those to whom the protection order is applied from those who are protected, and providing those who are protected with rights to relief assistance. In addition, the draft of the Law against Domestic Violence still contains legal irregularities and repetition.
