Abstrakt: Abstract:Domestic violence is one of the most important obstacles to the promotion and protection of human rights in the regionally and globally, particularly given the nature of this phenomenon and the problems that accompany it, as well as the difficulty of disclosure, and the multiplicity of legal, social and economic causes that prevent prosecution in some cases. This situation necessarily entails the continuation of national, regional and international efforts to eradicate the scourge of domestic violence in all its forms and manifestations, from the basic understanding that practicing violence cannot be justified under any circumstances. Jordan, like other countries of the world, has undertaken a number of procedural, administrative, judicial and legislative measures to combat and eliminate the phenomenon of domestic violence.
