Summary/Abstract: The adoption in Romania of the Law no. 217/2003 regarding the family violence was the result of a broader process that has been done in several European countries. Beyond the manifest need to do something at the legislative level, in order to stop this phenomenon, the law was also the fruit of the accession of Romania to the european area of Justice, as well as the ratification of international conventions regarding the aggression whose victims are primarily women and children. In the conditon of what the advertising space was recently occupied by a disturbing news about the killing of two women and wounding seriously four other, on grounds of jealousy, it is necessary to amend the existing law. This time the action was prompt and in line with European regulations. On the latter we will lean out the study, and in particular, on the correlation between national legislation and the European one.
