Abstract

Millions of women all over the world suffer abuse by his couple, what is the worst is that many tolerate it, including acceptance. One hundred and eighty women came to doctor’s office because of injuries at Legal medicine provincial center during 2006, which were victims of physical aggressions by their couple or excouple. We obtained as a result that mostly of insulted women were young, with school level secondary or preuniversity school. A high per cent was separated from their couple when they were insulted, the main cause leading them not to separate from their spouse, and not to denounce their couple was economic dependence and lack of own home. These patients were transferred to orientation House for Women and Family with the main objective of social reinsertion.
