Conjugal violence can occur between two people in a romantic, intimate or conjugal relationship, in the past or the present, and at any age. It does not result from a loss of control, but constitutes on the contrary as a means chosen to dominate the other person and assert their power over the victim.

Conjugal Violence can take on many forms.
