Introduction
Family violence represents an extremely serious social problem, and the specialists
consider it a form of torture1, due to its characteristics.
In conf. with art. 22 from Chapter II of the Romanian Constitution2, entitled
“Fundamental rights and liberties”, the right to life, as well as the right to physical and
mental integrity of the person are guaranteed.
Law no. 217/2003 for preventing and controlling family violence defines family
violence as any physical or verbal action performed intentionally performed by a member of
the family against another member of the same family, which provokes a sexual, mental or
physical suffering or a material prejudice. This law extends the concept of family violence to
other forms of aggression, except the physical one, as well as the acts of preventing a woman
from exercising her fundamental rights and liberties3.
The integrity of the person, including the family members, implies for the authorities
of the state, the obligation of constituting an efficient legal system, which sanctions the
persons guilty of breaching this right4.
