Domestic Violence

As much as two-thirds of all cases of domestic violence go unreported. Victims of domestic violence have often sustained so much physical, psychological, sexual, and emotional abuse that it may seem impossible to reach out for help. Abusers often try to degrade their victims’ sense of self-worth, making them feel powerless to help themselves.

There is still a misconception among some people that sexual assault and rape cannot happen in the context of a marriage. It is true that spousal rape was not a crime in the past, but in all of the United States and most of the developed world, it has become a crime. Sexual activity always requires mutual consent, whether or not the two people involved are married.

Restraining Orders

Restraining orders are legal documents commonly used to protect the victims of domestic violence from their abusers. The exact restrictions of the restraining order can vary from case to case, but they can include forbidding the abuser from coming within a certain distance of the victim. Restraining orders can also forbid attempts to contact by phone, mail, or other means.

Restraining orders are not usually permanent, but they can be an effective way to keep an abuser away while the victim pursues legal action and works to restore his or her life to order.
