Domestic violence occurs when the abuser believes that abuse is acceptable,
justified, or unlikely to be reported. It may produce intergenerational cycles
of abuse in children and other family members, who may feel that such
violence is acceptable or condoned. Awareness, perception, definition and
documentation of domestic violence differs widely from country to
country.Domestic violence often happens in the context of forced or child
marriage. In abusive relationships, there may be a cycle of abuse during
which tensions rise and an act of violence is committed, followed by a period
of reconciliation and calm. Victims of domestic violence may be trapped in
domestic violent situations through isolation, power and control, cultural
acceptance, lack of financial resources, fear,shame, or to protect children. As
a result of abuse, victims may experience physical disabilities, chronic health
problems, mental illness, limited finances, and poor ability to create healthy
relationships. Victims may experience psychological problems, such as posttraumatic stress disorder. Children who live in a household with violence
often show psychological problems from an early age, such as dysregulated
aggression which may later contribute to continuing the legacy of abuse
when they reach adulthood.
