Answer 1

Answer:

Domestic violence (also named domestic abuse or family violence) is violence or other abuse in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation. 

The two rights the new law helped achieve for women who are survivors of violence: (i) The new law recognises the right of women to live in a shared household. Women can get a protection order against any further violence. (ii) Women can get monetary relief to meet their expenses including medical costs.
