Currently, Domestic Violence is defined by legislation and penalized judicially. Victims of Domestic Violence can now seek relief and protection by courts. Even though court penalized wife beating there were no protections or reliefs for victims of domestic violence. Historically, Women and children had no right or protection from the legal system. Women were not able to file suits for themselves, file a suit against their husband, or have any control or say over legal matters. This made it very easy for women to be controlled and taken advantage of. In our modern age women can seek maximum relief in perusing their legal right due to abolitionist movements, women’s rights movements, legislation, and evolving standards of civil rights.
