Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
Marriage is a sacrament. Marriage is the life-long commitment of one person to another. Marriage is a safely guarded right, a constitutional protection that has been continually reaffirmed to protect the inviolability of unions. But what happens when a marriage fails to live up to its idealized and fantastical notion and begins to develop into a primary source of mental, physical, and emotional pain for an individual? What takes place when marriage is being used as a shield for coercive-and potentially lethal behavior?
