Conjugal Violence in the Criminal Code of Canada and Court Procedure

Conjugal violence is a universal problem that can affect anyone regardless of their gender, economic status, ethnicity or religious affiliation.

In international law, there are numerous conventions and treaties on the protection of women against conjugal violence. Also, many countries have enacted legislation protecting women against such abuse. In Canada, conjugal violence is not tolerated. In fact, the Canadian government has criminalized various acts in relationships where conjugal violence is present.

Therefore, regardless of the laws present in your country of origin, once you come to Canada, it is the law of this country that applies to you.
