Summary/Abstract: The current study aims to present the regulation of domestic violence in the Romanian Criminal Code of 1937, being listed in our former analysis on this subject. Though the Penal Code of 1937 does not use the wording of domestic violence or family violence, it stated certain specificities of this matter, but adjusted to that historical period. Thus, the Code incriminated the offences against decency including rape, without including the marital rape, women abduction, offences against persons which included a special regulation for the violence committed against family, but also the offence of infanticide,abortion or deprivation of freedom. Each of these regulations shall be analyzed with comparisons with the current situation, where appropriate.
