COMBATING PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE AGAINST THE WIFE IN ALGERIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Psychological violence against wives is one of the most widespread types of violence in the world, regardless of civilization. It has become increasingly prevalent in Algerian society in recent years, prompting the legislature to address it by criminalizing it through the introduction of Article 266 bis 1 of the Penal Code of December 30, 1915, as amended and supplemented.
This law aims to protect the wife, as she is the weaker party in the marital relationship, and because this type of violence is often intangible, imperceptible, and invisible. This can have serious consequences for the wife's mental and physical health, and can even lead to death. It also poses a major threat to the stability of the family, its foundations, and society as a whole.
