Does domestic violence constitute a crime
Lawyer's analysis:
China's laws expressly prohibit“ Family Violence ”Persistent and regular domestic violence may constitute abuse, and serious domestic violence may also constitute a crime. Such as China《 criminal law 》Article 260 stipulates: "Whoever maltreats a family member, if the circumstances are flagrant, shall be punished for less than two years fixed-term imprisonment 、 criminal detention perhaps control 。 Whoever commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph and causes serious injury or death to the victim shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than two years but not more than seven years. The crime mentioned in the first paragraph shall be dealt with only upon complaint. " It should be noted here that the crime in the first paragraph is handled only when told, which means that "those who maltreat family members and the circumstances are abominable" will not be prosecuted.
