Domestic violence started in mostly the countries. Besides people are taking it too far! Domestic violence is uncessary
Another View: So-called Domestic Violence has probably been occurring since the day the first cave man and cave woman took a swing at one another. It is by no means a product of any one country but one of "civilization" itself. It is an endemic human problem and probably always has been.

∙ 14y agoDomestic Violence laws can be traced back to 753 B.C., where, during the reign of Romulus in Rome, wife beating was accepted and condoned under the Laws of Chastisement. These laws permitted the husband to beat his wife with a rod or switch as long as its circumference was no greater than the girth of the base of the man's right thumb. This was the origin of the phase "Rule of Thumb." Fast forward to the 1500s. Early settlers in America based their laws on old English common-law, which explicitly permitted wife-beating for correctional purposes. The husband was allowed to whip his wife only with a switch no bigger than his thumb. And then in1824, a decision by the Mississippi Supreme Court allowed a husband to administer only moderate chastisement in cases of emergency. Then, in 1867, a North Carolina man was acquitted for giving his wife three licks with a switch about the size of one of his fingers, but smaller than his thumb. The reviewing appellate court later upheld the acquittal on the grounds that the court should "not interfere with family government in trifling cases.
