The research method used was normative legal research, using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Library research was conducted to collect legal materials. The conclusion that can be put forward is that Law No. 23 of 2004 has normatively provided protection to victims or wives, but it is still not comprehensive, and there are still forms of protection that require more detailed explanation or description.
