Can a Husband's Frequent Verbal Abuse Justify a Divorce?

Yes, permit me to ask: I have been married for 2 years, and in the past year, conflicts have frequently arisen. My husband often swears at, insults me, and my maternal family. In this case, can I file for divorce?

Pursuant to Clause 1 Article 56 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family, unilateral divorce is stipulated as follows:

When either the wife or husband requests a divorce, and reconciliation at the Court is not successful, the Court shall grant the divorce if there are grounds to believe that the wife or husband has committed acts of domestic violence or seriously violated the rights and obligations of the spouse, causing the marriage to fall into a serious state, the common life cannot last, and the purpose of the marriage is not achieved.

Therefore, you are fully entitled to a unilateral divorce in the case that your husband has committed acts of domestic violence as defined in the 2007 Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control, including acts of insult or other intentional acts that infringe upon honor or dignity (Point b Clause 1 Article 2 of the 2007 Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control). Hence, one of the grounds for the Court to resolve the divorce is the occurrence of such acts of violence. However, you must prove whether or not these acts occurred. Moreover, as marital life will generate many conflicts, you should carefully consider making decisions that ensure the rights of all family members, especially the children.

Respectfully!
