ABSTRACT:
This is a 5 page paper discussing some problems in regards to family as public or private matters. In the Australian social and legal system, several aspects of private family relationships are considered public concerns. While public concern for spousal abuse may be considered as beneficial to women who are abused, there are still many factors within the institution of marriage which are not considered equal. If true equality were to exist in the legal marital contract and be reflected in the courts and the eyes of society, more family matters could still remain private for both partners who would feel they had equal representation. As the system stands now however, it is generally felt that women, in order to get equal rights, benefits and legal justice, have to divulge more private family matters to the public and try and battle against the general acceptance that the man in the family provides financial support and is responsible for family discipline and should not be provoked into abusive situations while the woman within a private marital relationship should respect and accommodate those assumptions.
