Uprkos članu 4320. -- zakon o zaštiti porodice -- u kom su uključene preventivne mjere protiv muškog nasilja u porodici, nasilje nad ženama i dalje se nastavlja, jer taj zakon isključuje žene koje nisu službeno vjenčane, kakav je ponekad slučaj kod vjerskih brakova i seoskih oblasti, ili su razvedene.
Despite Article 4320 -- the law for the protection of the family -- which includes precautions against male violence within the family, violence against women continues as the law excludes women who are not officially married, as is sometimes the case in religious marriages and rural areas, or divorced.
