Kata Kunci: Tindak Pidana, Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga, Ruang Lingkup Keluarga  ABSTRACT This research was conducted due to the indefinite meaning of the phrase ‘scope of family’ in Article 2 of Act Number 23 of 2004 concerning Abolishment of Domestic Violence especially between ‘husband and wife’, where this unclear meaning leads to the difference in the judges’ consideration. This vague of norm sparks the different decisions affecting the subject in a family, and such a difference inflicts uncertainty on whether a decision is deemed valid or invalid from the outset when it is linked to Article 197 of Act Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Code Procedures. Keywords: criminal offense, domestic violence, family scope]]>
