Häusliche Gewalt ist ein gesellschaftliches Problem in Deutschland, bei dem Opfer oft finanziell und rechtlich an ihre Peiniger gebunden sind, insbesondere durch gemeinsame Mietverträge.
Bundesjustizministerin Stefanie Hubig (SPD) will erreichen, dass sich Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt künftig räumlich leichter von ihren Peinigern trennen können. „Wer häusliche Gewalt erlebt hat, soll sich leichter aus einem gemeinsamen Mietvertrag mit dem Täter lösen können“, heißt es in einem Gesetzentwurf, der den Zeitungen der Essener Funke Mediengruppe vorliegt. Der Weg in ein selbstbestimmtes und sicheres Leben solle damit einfacher werden.
Opfer häuslicher Gewalt sollen laut Entwurf klare gesetzliche Ansprüche haben. Sie sollen etwa vom Täter verlangen können, dass er grundsätzlich für Kosten aus dem Mietverhältnis aufkommt, die nach ihrem Auszug entstehen.
Besserer Schutz von Kindern geplant
Der Gesetzentwurf sieht dem Bericht zufolge zudem einen stärkeren Schutz für Kinder und Angehörige von Opfern häuslicher Gewalt vor. Familiengerichte sollen laut Hubig Schutzmaßnahmen künftig auch ohne gesonderten Antrag zugunsten von Menschen anordnen können, die von der Person abhängig sind, die Gewalt erfahren hat.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Der Gesetzentwurf wird in den kommenden Monaten im Bundestag beraten und voraussichtlich verabschiedet.

In an unpublished paper, SPD-led ministries call for a tougher course against China because of state subsidies, overcapacity and economic coercion that distort competition.

The right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro is slightly favored with around 47 percent of the vote in the runoff election for the Brazilian presidency against the left-wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who received around 45 percent. Since no one achieved an absolute majority, a runoff election will have to take place on October 25th. Bolsonaro promises a leaner state and a tougher line on crime, while Lula relies on social programs and government investments. The election was also shaped by issues such as public safety, foreign policy and judicial disputes.
