However, there is a difference between a complete stranger shouting insults at us on the street, and being defamed by our significant other in the very private and intimate sphere of our home, which has more serious consequences.
If our partner insults us constantly it might hide a much more serious situation, because isolated events are different from patterns of behaviour which are maintained over long periods of time. The fact that they are repetitive is what makes you feel uncomfortable and uneasy, so much so that it can at times become a habitual domestic abuse offence.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_button_gradient dimension=”flat” size=”large” corner_style=”rounded” grandient_color_from=”#45b7d4″ grandient_color_to=”#45b7d4″ url=”https://patonyasociados.com/en/contact/” align=”center” el_class=”max400″]IN NEED OF A LAWYER WHO SPECIALISES IN CASES OF DEFAMATION?[/mk_button_gradient][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box background_hov_color_style=”image” elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p6-1.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]WHAT TO DO IF…[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1569431072967{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]If your significant other insults you, this will usually take place at home where there are no witnesses. So, it is easy to think that it will be impossible to prove in court, as it’s a case of “their word against mine”.
This is naturally true, but nowadays it’s very easy to record a conversation on our phones, and that recording can later be used during a trial.
It should be noted that you do not need the aggressor’s consent to record the conversation; if you are a party to the conversation you have a right to record it in order to protect yourself against assault.[/vc_column_text][/mk_custom_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_padding_divider][mk_custom_box elevation_effect=”true”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][mk_image src=”https://patonyasociados.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/p7.png” image_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″][mk_fancy_title size=”18″ font_family=”Ubuntu” font_type=”google”]EXAMPLES OF DEFAMATION OFFENCES
