Abstract

The submission interrogates the issue of domestic violence in its various forms and how courts, legislation and courts define and handle cases of domestic violence. The authors argue that the definitions currently in place are not inclusive of various forms of violence thus leaving victims without adequate remedies. They note that the Bill on domestic violence is likely to address some of these shortcomings.
