Violence in the home: battered women in France
30 Jan. '97, the UMJ in Bondy (Paris suburbs), 10 a.m.
A woman severely beaten by her husband. After tying her to the bathtub tap, her husband started hitting her from head to foot with electric wires. He was bent on killing her, and accused her of being unfaithful. The doctor put her on 7 days of total disablement. Although she had no signs of fractures, the doctor ordered her a leave off work for shock and psychological trauma.
N.B.: An ITT resulting in under 8 days of disablement leads to the classification of an assault as a misdemeanour tried in a court of summary jurisdictions, with a maximum prison term of 3 years and a fine of FRF 300,000 for the perpetrator. Over and above 8 days, the case still goes to the same court, but can lead to a prison sentence of 5 years and a FRF 500,000 fine. Aggravating circumstances can also be taken into account, such as threats, confinement, illegal carrying of firearms or premeditation.

Violence in the home: battered women in France
This woman has been beaten by her husband during an argument over the electricity bill. He doesn't want to pay anymore; she objects, saying the baby needs warm baths. As the argument gets even more heated, the husband throws a potted plant and glass Coke bottles at his wife, striking her on the head and elbow (she was shielding her face). Called in by the police, the paramedics arrive on the scene. The neighbour has come to take care of the children while the mother stays in hospital. The husband is allowed to stay at home, having proven that he is the one paying the rent. He will not be bothered by the police if his wife does not press charges.

Violence in the home: battered women in France
Marseilles, 2 a.m., 9 Feb. '97
This woman has shut herself in her home. She is terrorized; just like every other night, her husband has battered her again. But tonight, he has a gun, and has decided to put an end to it all. She has managed to call the police. He has broken her wrist and left, and she is afraid he will come back and kill her. The husband was found sometime later, hiding in the bushes around the housing estate, carrying a gun. He was arrested, held in custody and brought to immediate trial.

Violence in the home: battered women in France
The UMJ (Judiciary Medical Emergency Ward) at the Jean Verdier Hospital, Bondy (Paris suburbs), 6 p.m.
This 26-year-old woman has been living with her boyfriend for the past 5 years. "He started hitting me after one year; it's the first time things get this bad. Today, he hit me on the head, in the stomach, on my harms. It's the first time I press charges. And it was all over a videotape! My mother was a battered wife. I don't want to live like that!"
N.B.: A judiciary medical examination can be ordered by the court after the filing of a claim, or can be performed directly. In domestic violence cases, medical certificates are essential documents supporting a claim, as they provide the judge with information on the extent of bodily harm inflicted on a victim and the seriousness of the attack. The data determine whether legal proceedings are to be instituted. The certificate is called an ITT (Incapacité Totale de Travail, or total occupational disablement, in the purely judicial sense of the term), and includes a victim's statement and a detailed description of lesions observed by the doctor. The French code of criminal law classifies misdemeanours based on the seriousness of harm described in the ITT. The nature of the offence and the court that will judge the case are determined by the number of days of disablement stated in the ITT.
