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.
Uprkos Članu 4320 Zakona o zaštiti porodice, koji uključuje preventivne mere protiv nasilja muškaraca u porodici, nasilje nad ženama se nastavlja jer su iz zakona isključene žene koje nisu zvanično u braku -- kao što je nekada slučaj sa verskim brakovima i u ruralnim područjima -- ili koje su razvedene.
