Full textAbstract:
Depression among childless middle-aged and elderly people is a serious social problem in Korea. However, few studies examine the influence of life satisfaction on the depression of spouses as actors and partners. Hence, this study analyzes the influence of life satisfaction (a positive factor childless married couples may have) on depression. This cross-sectional study employed data on couples to analyze the effect of life satisfaction on the depression of childless married couples as actors and partners via the actor–partner interdependence model. The Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging was employed to investigate life satisfaction and depression among 207 childless middle-aged and elderly couples. Regarding actor effects, wives’ (β = −0.285, p = 0.004) and husbands’ (β = −0.403, p < 0.001) life satisfaction significantly affected individual depression. Regarding partner effects, husbands’ life satisfaction (β = −0.255, p = 0.011) significantly affected wives’ depression, and the wives’ life satisfaction (β = −0.375, p < 0.001) significantly affected husbands’ depression. A childless actor’s life satisfaction affected own and partner’s depression. Thus, spouses should work together to improve their life satisfaction, thereby improving their depression.

The widespread use of and dependence on smartphones has resulted in spousal marital satisfaction being affected by partner phubbing behavior. We investigated the mediating effect of phubbing on the link between self-control and marital satisfaction for both actors and partners. We used the Smartphone Addiction Scale for Chinese Adults, the Self-Control Scale, and the Olson Enrich Marital Inventory to assess 676 Chinese couples with at least one child. Self-control had a significantly positive correlation with marital satisfaction, and spouses' phubbing partially mediated the relationship between participants' self-control and marital satisfaction, thus indicating a significant actor effect. Only a husband's phubbing significantly mediated the path between the husband's self-control and wife's marital satisfaction, thereby suggesting different partner effect patterns. These findings imply that self-control is a positive factor in marital satisfaction, and a spouse's phubbing may also play a negative role in marital satisfaction.

Abstract While many prior studies have evaluated the antecedents and consequences of changes in disability, few have considered the social context. As nearly 60% of older adults currently live with a spouse or intimate partner, it is important to examine spousal influences on disability. This study examined spousal associations in self-reported disability using data from the Precipitating Events Project, an ongoing longitudinal study of 754 initially nondisabled community living adults age 70 and over who have had monthly assessments of functional status since 1999. We hypothesized that one spouse’s level of disability would be associated with increases in the other spouse’s subsequent disability. We used the Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM), a statistical modeling framework that accounts for the interdependence in two-person data and tests the associations of both self (actor) and partner influences on outcomes. We used multilevel, longitudinal APIMs to examine lagged associations in spouses’ monthly reports of disability in 13 activities of daily living (e.g., walking a quarter mile, bathing) in the 37 married couples. As hypothesized, one partner’s prior disability level was significantly associated with the other partner’s (the actor’s) subsequent disability level (B = .674, SE = .012, p &lt; .001) after controlling for the actor’s prior disability level. Also, when both couple members had higher levels of prior disability, they were particularly at risk of subsequent increases in disability (B = .016, SE = .003, p &lt; .001). Incorporating partner disability level in modeling individuals’ outcomes provides greater precision in predicting future disability levels.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: The study analysed how its participants positioned themselves and other people as actors in daily life, and what matters they portrayed as meaningful in seeking and receiving support in daily life.Background: Family care has traditionally played an important role in elder care in Finland. Current policy goals will further increase the importance of family care, yet research on how people with memory illnesses and their spouses perceive care arrangements is scarce. Method: The study drew from theory of relational agency and positioning theory. The data came from semi-structured, in-depth interviews (10) of home-dwelling people diagnosed with a memory illness and their spouses. The interviewees’ age varied from 62 to 88. The analysis focused on the participants’ self-descriptions and descriptions of their experiences and actions in relation to informal and formal care arrangements. Results: The participants with a memory illness positioned themselves together with their spouses as a couple, as satisfied service recipients, as active and knowledgeable service users, or even as consumers who critically evaluated social and health care services. People with memory illnesses are capable of expressing their self-reflexive agentic self and adopting different positions to that of a person with dementia. Conclusion: There is need to better acknowledge agency of people with memory illnesses and to develop different data collection and analysis methods that enable them to convey their views.

Full textAbstract:
We-talk (first-person plural pronoun usage) is frequently used to represent the degree to which a person views an illness as shared within a couple. There is evidence that we-talk is related to good relationship and health. However, research has failed to examine the implications of we-talk for spouses and the interpersonal mechanisms that underlie relational and health benefits. To address these limitations, we investigated the association of we-talk to relationship and health among 199 couples in which one person had type 1 diabetes. We-talk was assessed in the context of a brief coping interview with patients and spouses separately. Patients reported their perceptions of their spouse’s behavior over the past month. Actor–partner interdependence, regression, and bootstrap models showed that patient we-talk was unrelated to patient and spouse well-being, but greater spouse we-talk was associated with higher patient relationship satisfaction, higher patient self-efficacy, and better patient self-care behavior. For spouses, greater spouse we-talk also was associated with higher relationship satisfaction, lower stress, and fewer depressive symptoms. Mediational analyses showed that patients’ perceptions of spouses’ greater emotional support and fewer critical behaviors partially accounted for these associations. Spouse we-talk may be more important than patient we-talk because it signifies that spouses are involved in helping with diabetes management, namely by providing emotional support and refraining from criticizing the patient.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Declining physical health likely affects not only older adults’ own well-being, but also that of their spouse. Using two waves of data from 610 couples in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project, we examined effects of health declines over five years on change in self and spousal psychological well-being. Actor-Partner Interdependence Model findings showed that declines in spouses’ physical health (i.e., increased pain and decreased physical and cognitive function) predicted increases in older adults’ anxiety. Given the increasing importance of later-life social ties outside of marriage, we further considered the role of non-spousal health confidants. Preliminary findings suggest that effects of health declines on both partners’ well-being depend on the availability of these confidants. When older adults have people in addition to their spouse with whom they can talk about their health, detrimental effects of spouses’ declining health on older adults’ well-being are weakened for some health outcomes

Tässä laadullisessa tutkimuksessa selvitimme, miten muistisairautta sairastava ikääntyvä puoliso ja hänen puoliso-omaishoitajansa kuvaavat muistisairaan puolison toimijuutta parisuhteessa. Analysoimme aineiston sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Muodostimme aineistosta neljä pääteemaa. Puoliso-omaishoitajat kuvasivat muistisairaan toimijuutta eri tavalla kuin sairastavat itse. Puoliso-omaishoitaja kuvasi muistisairaan puolison toimijuutta touhuamisena, mutta sairastavalla käyttäytymisen taustalla oli huoli kotitöistä. Kun muistisairas puoliso havaitsi, ettei kykene tekemään jotakin, mielenkiinto asiaa kohtaan väheni. Puoliso-omaishoitaja näki tilanteessa aloitekyvyttömyyttä. Parisuhteen yhteisissä sosiaalisissa tilanteissa muistisairautta sairastava oli tilanteesta ja ihmisestä riippuen aktiivisena toimijana tai aktiivisena tarkkailijana, itse toimintatapansa valiten. Puoliso-omaishoitajan näkökulmasta puoliso vetäytyi syrjään. Muistisairas puoliso vaikutti myös puoliso-omaishoitajan toimijuuteen vaatimalla läsnäoloa, jolloin tämä joutui osittain luopumaan omasta toimijuudestaan ja toimimaan puolisonsa ehdoilla. Muistisairauteen sairastuneet ovat aktiivisia toimijoita vuorovaikutuksessa muiden ihmisten kanssa omilla ehdoillaan tilanteesta riippuen. He hakevat toimijuuden jakamista puolisonsa kanssa niissä tilanteissa, joissa se on mahdollista, vaikka puoliso-omaishoitajan näkökulmasta kyse ei olisi vastavuoroisesta toimijuudesta. Jaettu toimijuus tukee muistisairautta sairastavan puolison yhteisessä arjessa selviytymistä. The agency of an ageing spouse with dementia This qualitative study examines how older spouses and their spouses with dementia describe the agency of a spouse with dementia in the relationship. Four themes were formed from the data. The caregiver spouses’ descriptions of the agency of a spouse with dementia differed from those of the spouse with dementia. From the perspective of a spousal carer, the agency of a person with dementia was described as hustling and bustling, but from the perspective of a spouse with dementia, behind the activity was the worry about doing housework. When a person with dementia found him/herself unable to do something anymore, he/she gave it up or his/her interest waned, while the spousal carer described it as inability to take initiative to act. In social situations shared by the couple, the spouse with dementia was, depending on the situation and the person, either an active actor or active observer without participating in the discussions. A spouse with dementia forced the spousal carer to partially relinquish his/her own agency and to act on the terms of the spouse with dementia and to be always present. Persons with dementia are not just passive targets. Their agency is active in interacting with other people on their own terms, depending on the situation. They actively share their agency with their spouse in situations where it is possible, even if it is not reciprocal from the point of view of the spousal caregiver.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Research has focused on the socioeconomic/cultural characteristics of individuals to address health disparities among immigrant populations. Dyadic studies of acculturation and healthcare utilization among older immigrants are rare. Using data from 263 older Korean immigrant couples in the U.S. (Mean_age = 74.75 for husbands; 71.03 for wives), this study examined how each spousal acculturation levels (e.g., English proficiency, familiarity with American culture) are associated with healthcare utilization (e.g., usual source of care, medical checkup) and difficulty in using health services, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Overall, husbands showed higher levels of acculturation than their wives, but there was also substantial similarity between spouses (ICC = .58). For healthcare utilization, one’s own acculturation (actor effect) was significant only for wives, but spouse’s acculturation (partner effect) was significant only for husbands. For difficulty in health service use, one’s own acculturation was significant for both spouses, but spouse’s acculturation was significant only for husbands.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is based on research among a group of 20 Indian national women, the so-called ‘trailing wives’ of professional and highly skilled NRI's (non-resident Indians) residing in Durban, KwaZulu Natal. Borrowing from Radhakrishnan's (2008) notion of ‘global Indianness’ and the role of diasporic women in embodying the cultural ideals of Indian family life, the study is grounded in a transnational and social networks approach (Wellman, 1984; Lauringand Selmar, 2010). Traditional literature on expatriate workers is preoccupied with the migrant's work experience and more specifically, tends to construct highly skilled migrants as individual economic actors, neglecting the family that accompanies them. However, more recent studies acknowledge the impact a ‘trailing spouse’ may contribute to the transnational experience (Louring & Selmer, 2010; Gupta, Banerjee, & Gaur, 2012). Expatriate employees and their spouses can face multiple challenges in the relocation process, including a lack of support from employers, leaving family and friends behind, adapting to a host society, and the difficulty of raising children where traditional support structures do not exist. By casting an anthropological lens on the diverse forms and functions of social ties and networks the families of highly skilled migrants create, the embodied reality of migration is foregrounded.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Older adult caregivers have increased risk of disturbed sleep, which is associated with declines in sexual frequency. Spousal caregivers engage in less sexual activity than caregivers of non-spouses. We examined whether the associations between sleep behaviors (duration, napping frequency, feeling rested) and couples’ sexual frequency, quality, and pleasure were similar among dyads in which one spouse was providing care to a spouse (n = 146) or a parent or other care recipient (n = 211). Using Wave 2 of the NSHAP and actor-partner interdependence models, we found significant differences (p &lt;.01) between dyads. For all spouses, only frequency of sharing a bed was related to frequency of sexual activity in the previous 12 months. Sleep duration was not associated with any outcomes. In both groups, frequency of sharing a bed was positively associated with reports of physical pleasure (b’s ranged from .20 to .50). In spousal caregiver couples, caregivers’ greater napping frequency was negatively associated (b = -.29, p &lt;.01) with their partner’s reports of a physically pleasurable relationship, and their reports of feeling rested were positively (b = .17, p &lt; .01) associated with their own reports of pleasure. For couples in which the caregiver was caring for a non-spouse, there were actor effects for caregivers’ and noncaregivers’ napping frequency on lower reports of sexual relationship quality (b = .19 and .49, respectively), and a partner effect for non-caregivers (b = .25). These results point to the importance of understanding the context of caregiving, sleep behaviors, and sexual relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the demonstrated benefits of social relationships, there is a growing recognition that such relationships also contain a significant proportion of negative interactions. Even though research has shown that such negative interactions have detrimental effects on outcomes such as marital satisfaction, little is known about how these interactions come to be associated with outcomes. One hundred and three couples having at least one child from a previous relationship living with them completed a telephone interview. As predicted, the results suggest that higher levels of perceived spousal unhelpfulness was related to lower marital satisfaction. Although spousal criticism was not related to marital satisfaction as hypothesized, reports of a failure of the spouse to provide support was linked to low marital satisfaction for husbands. Contrary to predictions, characterological attributions were not related to marital satisfaction although the hypothesized relation between levels of blame in the attribution and marital satisfaction was supported. However, when controlling for demographics and the type and seriousness of the stressor, extent of blame predicted marital satisfaction only for wives. Wives who expressed more blame towards their spouse had lower DAS scores than did wives expressing less blame. No significant interactions between behavior and attribution were found.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>商學研究所<br>102<br>The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between workload, WFC and family satisfaction. In addition, the study also examined whether in a marital relationship the effect of an individual’s WFC on his/ her own family satisfaction and the spouse’s family satisfaction will have a significant difference. The study used workload as the independent variable and WFC as the mediator in order to (a) explore their main effects on family satisfaction and (b) investigate the mutual crossover effects and their differences between husbands and wives in the framework of this study.
By using structured questionnaires and the convenience sampling method, the study collected valid responses from 490 full-time workers in Taiwan, which equals to 245 couples. The structural equation modeling showed that individual''s workload has a significant negative impact on family satisfaction through WFC. However, husbands and wives do not have a significant difference on the effects of WFC on family satisfaction. In addition, this study also found that mutual crossover effects do exist. It means that an individual’s WFC negatively influences his/her spouse’s family satisfaction. Nevertheless, different from our expectations, no significant gender differences exist in these crossover effects, which represents that the impact of wives’ WFC on husbands’ family satisfaction would not be higher than that of husbands’ WFC on wives’ family satisfaction. Finally, the study originally expected that influences of the spillover effects to be higher than that of the crossover effects. However, the result revealed that no significant difference exists between them.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHaving established that women have a right to their own property, the Qur’an also abolishes the earlier custom of men inheriting the wives of their deceased relatives as spouses, thereby taking over the deceased husband’s property, and of forcing them to or preventing them from marrying as they may choose in order to retain control of the same. This combination of Qur’anic actions established women as the subjects as opposed to objects of inheritance. And there would now be a bridal gift from the groom, too, before a marriage can be effected, providing women with yet another source of income and independence. Yet the insistence by some that men are women’s “guardians” has sapped many women of the ability to choose their own spouse, while taking the bridal gift too seriously is labelled “greedy” or potentially off-putting to a would-be groom and his family.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this chapter we focus on the consequences of Sentenza 238/2014 for the Italian judiciary. The judgment of the Corte Costituzionale obliges the Italian tribunals to admit claims for the reparation of victims or the heirs of victims and to decide on the merits. In this context, a series of difficult legal questions arise that require consistent answers. The practice shows, however, that consistent answers cannot be taken for granted as long as the decision is in the hands of lower-level tribunals. The questions to be solved concern, firstly, who can bring a claim: the victims only or—in cases where they are no longer alive—also their spouses, children, or even grandchildren and other family members? This raises a second question namely whether there is any time limit for bringing claims, which of course touches upon more general concerns, such as intertemporal law, statutory limitations, prescriptions, forfeiture and inadmissibility due to reparation agreements. Thirdly, there is the question as to the specific nature of the reparations: for example, financial reparations and their calculation standards, or satisfaction only? A further question arising from all decisions granting reparation relates to the execution of the judgments, as it seems rather illusory that Germany will comply voluntarily with such judgments. An additional aspect the chapter addresses is the broader impact of the decisions of the Italian judiciary: the non-recognition of state immunity before Italian tribunals will make Italy an attractive forum for similar claims, evidence of which has already emerged. Furthermore, the decisions of the tribunals will serve—although certainly involuntarily—as precedents in similar cases not only in Italy. Such effects will concern issues such as (a) the reparation of war-related claims on an individual basis and (b) their consequences for the readiness of states to terminate armed activities by concluding peace treaties and reparation agreements on a lump sum basis. With a view to actual armed conflicts that are mostly not international armed conflicts the question has then to be asked (c) whether individual reparation claims will lead to discriminatory consequences as reparation will probably only be realizable for victims of war crimes committed by state organs and not those committed by non-state actors. The chapter will then conclude by trying to assess more in general the task of constitutional and/or supreme courts to balance the consequences flowing from their decisions against their power or intent to enhance the development of (international) law.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter argues that money in its recent digital, immaterial incarnation has acquired a so-called new sociability. In contrast to cash, any transaction involving plastic money always leaves a permanent trace, entangling its issuer and users in a relationship, no matter how small or one-off the transaction. If money talks, plastic money tattles, and this has far-reaching implications for actors at both macro and micro (household) levels. The chapter discusses the theoretical implications of immateriality and re-embedding delivered by plastic money. It then turns to a set of empirical examples to illustrate how plastic money enhances the ability of nation-states to govern and control their citizen-cardholders, focusing on the cases of Russia and China. It discusses plastic cards' potential effects on domestic economies, suggesting that the new sociability of plastic money could be informative (or revealing) not only to states and card lenders, but also to spouses and parents.

Abstract The majority of correspondents did not express their affection in the vocabulary of romantic love. Still, they did not necessarily neglect their spouses as a consequence. Their feelings were often symbolized in prospective acts of kindness. Couples conveyed nonromantic love by performing expected gender roles: women by preparing food and clothing; men by providing necessities for their family. The vocabulary of romantic love was missing from the majority of nineteenth-century working-class marriages, whatever the level of care between partners. There was something off-limits for the majority about sending love to spouses. Time and again, married men and women imparted love to their tribe rather than a spouse. They felt an intense need to reinforce relationships within their community. This deep-seated and taken-for-granted behavior is documented and interpreted.

This chapter explores the questions of whether a woman can be single, whether women and men are inherently different, whether female and male desire is different, and whether old women experience sexual desire. All these questions arise in a debate between a young male sage Ashtavakra and the elderly, never-married female sage Disha. Ashtavakra, who mistakenly thinks he has overcome desire, learns about desire, and about himself. Bhishma recounts the debate to Yudhishthira in answer to Yudhishthira’s doubts about how spouses can share dharma when each being has its own separate birth, actions, and death.

Abstract The Franklin’s Tale is a self-described Breton lai and so adds another to the varieties of romance in the Tales, though it is freely adapted from Boccaccio, probably the Decameron. For long admired for its presentation of a marital crisis overcome by the trust between the spouses, it has more recently been damned as showing the inadequacies of a shallow and patriarchal narrator—a view challenged in this chapter. The plot turns on astrological magic and illusion (high tides do not last for a fortnight), but the resolution is brought about by competitive acts of gentilesse by the three male protagonists.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Andromakhe is one of six exceptional plays (see chapter 1, section 3) in which harm to philoi at first appears to be less central than in most other plays. Menelaos and Hermione threaten Andromakhe and Molossos, who are not blood kin to them, and Orestes is implicated in the murder of Neoptolemos, who is not his kin. Although threats to a suppliant occur in the first part of the play, suppliancy is not the main concern of the play as whole. Xenia does not figure in Andromakhe, nor does spouse murder spouse, as happens in Aiskhylos’s Agamemnon and Sophokles’ Women of Trakhis. Nevertheless, this play, focusing as it does on conflict between the wife and concubine of Neoptolemos, is centrally concerned with violations of philia within the marriage relationship. In the Greek view, the acts it represents are just as dreadful as kin murder and incest.

Full textAbstract:
Because of continuing reservations about the insanity defense but with the underlying consensus that a defendant’s mental disorder at the time of the offense should in some cases be relevant when determining criminal responsibility, various iterations of and alternatives to the insanity defense have been recognized. Chapter 9 addresses a number of these variations, such as the deific decree defense, the PTSD defense, the battered spouse/child syndrome defense, and the urban psychosis defense, as well as the abolition of the insanity defense or related mental health evidence, shifting the burden of proof to the defendant, heightening the level of proof required to establish the defense, the guilty but mentally ill verdict, the diminished capacity defense, and the so-called temporary or “he/she snapped” defense. This chapter also discusses other criminal responsibility issues that a defendant’s mental disorder may impact, namely, the mens rea (criminal intent) and actus reus (criminal act) elements of a criminal prosecution. For example, if a defendant lacked control over his or her actions, a crime is not considered to have occurred. Thus, the law recognizes an automatism or unconsciousness argument, which may encompass epilepsy, a concussion, or a fugue state. More controversial are the sleep-walking defense and the “multiple personality disorder” defense. This chapter also addresses the two USSC rulings germane to these various iterations and alternatives.

This chapter shows how working people build relationships with their spouses, children, siblings, and friends within and alongside their labor, interweaving these intimate relationships with Dongdaemun market's manufacturing, wholesaling, and retailing networks. The chapter argues that women workers manage their multiple roles in reproducing the family and monetary value at the same time, rendering the intimacy as integral in the smooth and sped-up cycle of commodity production circulation. It highlights the subtle dynamics and tensions between what is intimate and what is economic and challenges the perceived division between notions of care and impersonal economic rationalities, without erasing or reconciling the differences between them. Ultimately, the chapter demonstrates how people's practices in the market are acts of caring, reproduce and disturb gender relations, and provide avenues to tactically fulfil or avoid family duties. It then argues that intimacy and the market are coproduced and mobilize one another and that this process makes the fast pace and viability of Dongdaemun market possible.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter deals with the role of corpses in public memory during the Age of the World Wars in the North Adriatic borderland, where human remains had a momentous role in the clash among the area’s main collective identities: Italian, Slovenian and Croatian nationals, Habsburg authorities, Communists, Nazis, Fascists and new Fascists, and the Jewish community. In particular, corpses were actors in political-religious representations and a driving force in the period’s war propaganda. After 1945, human remains were contentious among conflicting factions and later became involved in trials against Nazi war criminals – regular public opinion has since underlined their fate. The analysis begins by recalling the public display and long spanning funeral of the mummified corpse of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his spouse, on the brink of the Great War in July 1914. The paper then explores other examples in use of corpses in the public discourse and pays careful attention to three case studies: the Redipuglia WW1 shrine, the pictures shot in winter 1943–44 of exhumed partisans’ enemies, and the victims’ ashes of the San Sabba Rice Mill lager.

Full textAbstract:
Modern society increasingly adopts the products of companies, institutions, and organizations that provide credit services in order to meet its needs and improve general quality of life, as a result of which, when terminating a marriage, questions of a mandatory nature often arise, related to the determination of the nature of the obligations of the spouses and their division between the spouses, hence in divorce cases it is not uncommon for a third party to appear – a creditor whose interests must also be protected. In family relations cases, the protection of the public interest dominates, because the protection of the legal interests of the spouses as well as the creditors must be guaranteed, also the proportionality of the protection of the legal interests protected by the law between the parties has to be achieved, because everyone has the right to defend their violated rights, and the state must ensure the protection of these legal interests. The article discusses the protection of creditors in the divorce process in the countries of the European Union, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia, Luxembourg, in which legal systems the possibility of ending a marriage out of court exists, also the assumptions made in the national legal acts and their application practice, ensuring the protection of creditors and distinguishing its implementation problematic aspects in the civil process, are assessed, as well as the analysis of the Republic of Lithuania’s 2023 January 1 amendments to the Civil Code related to divorce outside of court entered into force is performed.

Full textAbstract:
Despite legislative advancements, domestic violence is still today a crime considered as "minor" by many, or often the actions that materialise it are not even recognised. The first steps in Portuguese legislation were taken by the Penal Code approved in 1982, which typified the crime of ill-treatment between spouses, and by the Law n. º 61/91 of 13th of August, which guaranteed “adequate protection to women victims of violence”. However, only in 2007, was the crime of Domestic Violence created, which shows, from 1982 until then, a long path of hesitations and slow social evolution concerning the consciousness of this crime’s seriousness. Until 2007, the crime of spousal abuse was integrated in a broader criminal arrangement, characterised by the abuse of persons. In 2009, with the typification of the crime of Domestic Violence and with the publication of the legal regime applicable to the prevention, protection, and assistance of victims, denominated as Law of Domestic Violence, a more consolidated phase was inaugurated, in both legal treatment and social intervention. Despite these evolutions, Portugal continues to witness an attitude of "social and collective consent" to some forms of Domestic Violence, oftentimes disguised in the acceptance and normalisation of gender inequalities. We have seen news stories where judgements are presented, within the scope of Domestic Violence cases, where discriminatory ideas against women and excuses for the crime of Domestic Violence are manifested. This is proof that some of the representatives of justice (the judges) do not accept what has already been legally approved in the Portuguese legal system. Similarly, recent studies on the population’s perception of domestic and gender-based violence show the abiding ideas and understandings of acceptance and normalisation of domestic and gender-based violence in Portuguese society. We intend to present the evolution of the typification of the crime of domestic violence in Portugal. Then, we intend to understand how this phenomenon has been perceived in Portuguese society. Therefore, we will be able to understand the continuities and ruptures between the legislative body and the social body in what concerns Domestic Violence and Violence against Women in Portugal.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes students’ narratives by the method of focus groups on the problem of attitudes towards young women who left for Syria. The authors attempted to reconstruct the girls’ everyday discourse of “talking to a stranger on the Internet and going to Syria through interviews and focus-group communication”. In the context of narrative analysis, the authors see two levels of the problem: the micro-level – the ability to identify the degree of sensitivity to the ideology of Islamic fundamentalism through attitudes to the practical actions of specific girls who have already gone to Syria. Macro-level – “intergenerational conflict” or “intergenerational rift”. The result of intergenerational conflict in North Caucasus societies is often a religiously-extremist way of behaving to adults who do not share their “excessive immersion in Islam” to the detriment of traditional normative values. The analysis of youth narratives concerning the “departed” can also serve as an explanatory model for the response to a broader problem, namely the development of intergenerational dynamics in the context of a clash of values between the traditional culture of local societies and Islamic fundamentalism. In this two-level perspective, we see the prospect of further research into the problem of extremism in North Caucasian societies. In this article, we have designated the macro level as the “background site”. In our reconstruction of the everyday discourse of university students on the problem of “girls leaving for Syria”, we came to the following conclusions. The evaluations revealed the admissibility of sharing the spouse’s fate as an attributive understanding of marital duty within the framework of Islamic ideology. In the opinion of female students, the loneliness of girls, domestic violence, and the search for a “real man” can also serve as a possible decision for young women to communicate online with a stranger. The relevance of the problem of analyzing narratives is the need to comprehend the palette of opinions of a part of the youth audience, which is not considered to be young people in the “risk zone”.
