Summary/Abstract: In the strict sense of the word, family is the foundation of a healthy person’s development, while in a broad sense it represents the foundation of a society. By its legal definition, marriage implies the union of a woman and a man, and in social relations it denotes love, togetherness, peace, tranquility, and happiness. The appearance of domestic violence creates a serious problem not only for the immediate family or the marital/extramarital partner, but also for the entire society. The extended family, that is, third parties, do not necessarily have to be a part of this situation, as it usually happens between the marital/extramarital partners, and in most cases the problem remains between them.The legal position of one of the marital/extramarital partners who is the victim is a very complex problem that requires a thorough analysis and discussion. Since the marital/extramarital union represents an intimate relationship between partners, the occurrence of violent behavior leaves the victim unprotected and the problem remains within the union itself, which represents an essential problem from a legal point of view.One of the basic problems in protecting the victim of domestic violence is how to prevent the abuser from committing violence, which measure or sanction will result in him not committing or repeating the acts of violence. The analysis of this subject matter would lead to insights and potential solutions aimed at more adequate protection, education, and care for the victims of domestic violence in martial/extramarital union.
