Abstract

The research indicates the importance of the divorce process in cases where there is domestic violence because it was perceived that there is an incongruity between article 14 of the Maria da Penha Law, which foresees the judgment of civil cases by the Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women, and some laws of judicial organization, which are not so clear about this demand.

Based on bibliographic research in articles, literary works, and through the deductive method of approach, A historical recapitulation of the rights and guarantees conquered by women was made and how they could be improved, thus solving the aforementioned problem.
