The term "intimate partner violence" refers to violence committed by any type of intimate partner, including legally married, separated, divorced, or common-law partners, as well as current or previous dating partners. This term is more inclusive and accurate than the other options listed. "Spousal abuse" and "wife beating" only refer to violence committed by legally married partners, and "battered woman syndrome" is a psychological condition experienced by some survivors of intimate partner violence.
