The abuse of women is a significant social problem. Domestic violence often culminates with the woman killing her mate.3 With increasing frequency abused women charged with killing their husbands or lovers justify their acts as self-defense and seek to support these claims with expert testimony on "battered woman syndrome". Frequently, however, a battered woman kills her mate after an attack has ended or at some time when, seemingly, no immediate threat is present. Further, a woman in a violent relationship would appear always to have an alternative to killing the man-leaving the relationship. In this article, with a critical view and descriptive-analytical method, while criticizing the battered woman theory by Lenore Walker and stating the disadvantages of this theory, argues that In cases of self-defense, the courts should not accept the testimony of an expert based solely on scientific justification, but the jury should be allowed to evaluate the claim of self-defense based on its components, valid social science research, the history of violence of the battered woman, and the prevailing conditions. Give the economic and social reasons for the crime.
