If a husband commits domestic violence, how should the wife take up the legal weapon to protect herself?

In daily life, due to emotional discord between husband and wife, there are many cases of verbal altercation, and the wife is subjected to domestic violence. If a husband commits domestic violence, how should the wife take up the legal weapon to protect herself?

The Anti-Domestic Violence Law of the People's Republic of China was formulated to prevent and stop domestic violence, protect the legitimate rights and interests of family members, especially women, maintain equal, harmonious and civilized family relations, and promote family harmony and social stability. Its introduction highlights the core values of socialism. Acts such as "physical and mental abuses committed by husbands against women by means of beatings, bindings, mutilation, restriction of personal freedom, and frequent verbal abuse and intimidation" are domestic violence.

If the wife is abused, she may apply to the people's court for a personal safety protection order. The system of personal safety protection orders stipulates that when a woman encounters domestic violence, the people's court may issue a personal safety protection order on the basis of her application. If the perpetrator violates the law, he shall bear the corresponding civil, administrative and even criminal legal responsibility. At the same time, when women encounter domestic violence, they should call the police on 110 in time to retain relevant evidence.
