Abusive behavior at home is a worldwide issue crossing national
boundaries just as financial, social, and racial issues. This issue
isn't just broadly scattered, yet its rate of such activity is
broader than we think, making it a common and acknowledged conduct.
Domestic violence in the home is deep-rooted and has serious
impacts on the well-being of an individual especially women and is
colossal to the society we live in.
Family Lawyers of Dubai describes domestic violence as a misuse
of power by an adult in a relationship to monitor or control the
other. It establishes fear in the mind of another individual
through violence or other forms of abusive behavior. It may
constitute assault, battery, financial abuse, sexual assault,
social abuse and more. Importantly, anyone can be a victim of
domestic violence be it spouse, children, grandparents or another
family member.
