Аннотация
South Africa boasts one of the world's highest rates of reported domestic violence, although the actual figures are elusive. Some statistics say that one quarter of South African women suffer assault at the hands of the men they love. Others indicate that most of these women never speak of the abuse, much less lay a charge with the police. Whatever the numbers may be, the fact remains that the incidence of domestic violence is inexorably on the increase.In 1998 South Africa legislated a new Domestic Violence Act in acknow- ledgement of the extent of this problem and in an attempt to offer protection, via the issue of a protection order, to its victims. The act was particularly welcome because it recognised a broadened definition of "domestic rela- tionship" and "domestic abuse." "Domestic relationship" was expanded to include not only marriage but cohabitation in a marriage-like relationship and also same-sex partnerships.
