UK domestic abuse bill

UK domestic abuse bill My new article for solicitors North East is all about the impact that the new domestic abuse bill will have in the UK. It looks at the history of the law from the 1800s, when In 1878 Frances Power Cobbe wrote an article named ‘Wife Torture in England’ which spoke to both the physical and mental torture suffered by women and the absence of rights should they wish to escape their marriage.
