More on the effect of anti-gay-marriage laws on serving unmarried partners who are victims of domestic violence. It is affecting both gay and straight men and women.

"Domestic violence [rates] will drop dramatically only because you won't be able to charge live-in partners or same sex couples with domestic violence; it will have to be an assault. The assault crimes will go up, but the domestic violence crimes will drop dramatically," said Wood County Sheriff's Deputy Mary Ann Robinson.

An interesting article from the Wales:

The research, carried out by the University of Glamorgan also found that a quarter of the victims of domestic violence who were treated at Prince Charles Hospital, in Merthyr Tydfil, were male.

But similar work carried out in Israel suggests this is just the tip of the iceberg as equal numbers of men as women are assaulted within the home.

I'm curious about this study from Israel. The article didn't mention anything more about this study.
