This paper deals with family violence against women that has become a social
phenomenon about which several conferences, workshops and campaigns have been
held. The paper investigates the causes of violence, its patterns, its prevalence and
danger. As an introduction to the related Islamic legislation, established to limit the
phenomenon and its effects, a literature review is included. In addition, Islamic
legislative measures proposed in numerous Islamic sources (Fiqh, Tafseer and Hadeeth)
were studied and analyzed. As a result, this research concluded that family violence in
our society is prevalent and badly needs necessary measures to encounter this
phenomenon in order to reduce it. This study came up with ten Islamic measures that
