This will have as main objective to answer some questions, like for example, “how far can a woman victim of psychological violence go”. It is important to emphasize that there is no intention to romanticize such a barbaric crime, as the case in question, however, it is necessary to analyze all sides, for everything there is a reason, for every action there is a motivation. Life is an inviolable right, nothing will justify its removal, this is a certainty, and to start reading this analysis it is necessary to have these clear ideas, it is not a justification, a romanticization, Elize suffered psychologically in this relationship and necessary talk about it. Furthermore, the objectives of this research are to demonstrate the evolution of women's rights in society, to talk a little about the laws that protect them, interconnecting with domestic violence and abusive delivery, aiming to demonstrate the damage that this relationship caused in Elize, and use this concrete example to raise awareness of the society of the importance of talking about the subject.
