agree  Max Nuijens: certainly not matrimonial, as partner stresses the possibility of unmarried couples and also (in my imagination) same-sex relations
21 mins
agree  Buck: partner perhaps used to, but no longer, refers only to same-sex couples
31 mins
agree  Kitty Brussaard: 'Domestic violence' or Dutch 'huiselijk geweld' includes violence between spouses, cohabitants, intimate partners and even ex-partners (cf. Wikipedia)

neutral  writeaway: I find it a bit confusing. there is 000 context, no Dutch sentence, but it looks like domestic violence is one aspect. Asker needs to clarify.

neutral  writeaway: the official term IS intimate partner violence. http://www.lapublichealth.org/ivpp/injury_topics/IPV/dvdescr... there is far too little context to be sure of any translation A sentence in Dutch is needed.

  -> Thanks, 'intimate partner violence' indeed seems to be more 'standard' than 'partner violence'
