Domestic violence and its forms have existed since ancient times, depending on each era.

According to that time and until recently, some legal scholars understood that aggressions by a man against his partner, when arising from love and passion, considered crimes of passion, should not be punished. The profile of these violent or aggressive men includes low self-esteem, high vulnerability to humiliation, the frequent feeling of impotence, the absence of a life plan, the cultural factor, the inability to control self-control and poor impulse control, the situation of parental rejection and have suffered aggression in the past or have a violent family history.
