对制定《反家庭暴力法》的反思

Rethinking Anti-Family Violence Legislation

我国《反家庭暴力法》立法的必要性和科学性是值得反思的。学界对我国家暴状况的判断是有偏差的。在我国法律体系中,并不缺少反家庭暴力的法律规范,事实上,我国的反家庭暴力问题,不是立法问题,而是执法问题。就立法者的立场而言,在我国仍存在诸多远比反家庭暴力更为紧迫的立法任务的情况下,制定《反家庭暴力法》不具有紧迫性;从方法论的观点而言,制定《反家庭暴力法》是治标不治本的方法,不但可能从根本上消除家庭暴力,甚至可能导致公权力对私权利粗暴干预的负面效果;从立法的科学性而言,解决家庭暴力问题的关键是促进家庭内部的幸福与和谐,家庭暴力当事人之间存在着亲情伦理关系,应着眼于采用适应亲情伦理关系的特殊手段来化解。相比而言,制定《家庭和谐促进法》可能是比制定《反家庭暴力法》更为明智的选择。

The necessity and scientific accuracy of anti-family violence legislation in China is worth rethinking, as there are no lack of laws and regulations pertaining to the matter but an insufficient focus on implementation. From a lawmaker＇ s point of view, they should take a global view and prioritize legislation on the most critical and important issues that we are now facing. In terms of methodology, setting up anti-domestic violence legislation only addresses symptoms but not causes. While failing to eliminate the problem, it may cause further complications such as the public authority＇s interference with private rights. The external cause is the condition for change; the internal cause is the foundation of change. In terms of scientific accuracy, the key to tackling domestic violence is to emphasize the importance of family bappiness and barmony. To that end, setting up regulations that focus on enhancing domestic quality of life may be a wiser choice than focusing solely on anti-domestic violence legislation.
