The research uses bibliographic methodology, based on both classics and vanguard authors, as well as jurisprudence and legislation, including foreign ones.

Without intending to close the issue on this topic, given its complexity, the research seeks to launch a new applicability on the old legal institute, bearing in mind the specificities of gender-based violence and taking into account, in particular, the existence of the cycle of violence.
