- Abstract
This article discusses the legal issues of domestic violence, specifically focusing on the inadequacy of Law No. 23 Year 2004 in providing comprehensive legal protection for wives who are victims of domestic violence. The purpose of writing this article is to analyze criminal policy formulation to ensure justice for victims. This research uses a normative juridical approach, examining legal principles, regulations, and doctrines related to the protection of women from domestic violence, with an emphasis on analyzing legislation, particularly Law No. 23 of 2004. The findings revealed several shortcomings in the law, including alternative sentencing that can result in lenient sentences, lack of specification of minimum sentences, and inadequate coverage for unofficial marriages. These gaps contribute to victims’ reluctance to report incidents and result in inconsistent legal protection. This study underscores the need for amendments to the law to address these shortcomings and improve law enforcement, ensuring justice and safety for victims of domestic violence.
