What is the domestic battery law in Indiana state?

Answer 1

Domestic violence occurs when one intimate partner uses physical violence, coercion, threats, intimidation, isolation, and/or emotional, sexual or economic abuse to maintain power and control over the other intimate partner. There is no one physical act which characterizes domestic violence.; it encompasses a continuum of behaviors ranging punches and kicks to false imprisonment, sexual abuse, suffocating or maiming, and homicide. Most victims suffer multiple forms of abuse. Verbal and emotional abuse, such as continuous degrading, belittling, or fault-finding behavior, may be more subtle than physical harm, but is no less destructive to victims.
