The term "intimate terrorism" is used to describe a pattern of domestic violence where the primary perpetrator (usually male) engages in multiple and escalating forms of control in order to dominate and intimidate their partner. This can involve physical violence, emotional abuse, economic coercion, and/or sexual violence. Dowry violence refers to violence that occurs in the context of disputes over dowry payments in some cultures.
