The case of domestic violence involving a husband in Central Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi province, who committed an acid attack on his wife, is an incident that reflects the urgency of law enforcement and protection for victims of violence. This research aims to evaluate the legal aspects and social impact of these acts of violence and highlight the protective measures available to victims. This case not only had deep physical and psychological effects on the victim but also challenged the effectiveness of the justice system in handling similar cases. By examining how Indonesian law addresses gender-based violence, as well as assessing the implementation of victim protection policies, this research provides insight into how law enforcement can be improved to prevent and respond to domestic violence more effectively. In addition, this study also identifies an urgent need for reform in victim support and protection systems to make them more responsive to situations of violence. It is expected that the findings from this research can become a reference for policymakers and related institutions in designing better strategies to protect victims and reduce incidents of domestic violence in the future.
