In the Maghreb, only two states
criminalise violence against women: Tunisia and Algeria.
On 5 March 2015, a new law was passed in Algeria which
makes violence against women (including within families) a crime.
Sentence:
Lifetime for death.
Between one and 20 years in prison for
moral and physical injuries.
Between six months and two
years for trying to stop financial flows to spouse.
However, if the injured woman
‘forgives’ her attacker, the legal action is stopped.
