Historical Development – Patriarchal Roots
• Doctrine of Covertures- women loses separate legal identify once married
• Husbands both obligated and permitted to “chastise” wife and children to maintain discipline
• “a husband is responsible for the acts of his wife, and he is required to govern his household, and for that purpose, the law permits him to use towards his wife such a degree of force, as is necessary to control on unruly temper, and make her behave herself”
State vs. Black, 60 N.C. 262 (1864)

Doctrine of Family Privacy
• “We will no more interfere when the husband whips the wife, than where the wife whips the husband…We will not inflict upon society the greater evil of raising the curtain upon domestic privacy, to punish the lesser evil of trifling violence”
State v Rhodes, 61 N.C. 453 (1868)
