• Abstract: Domestic violence-induced battered women’s husband killing pertains to the act of a woman who eliminates her abusive spouse to safeguard herself or her children under the prolonged abuse and violence inflicted by her husband. Grounded on the battered woman syndrome theory, this paper presents the current judicial status of battered women’s anti-murder cases, conducts an analysis and summary of the predicament faced by battered women’s anti-murder conduct in our country, and examines the application and advancement of the battered woman syndrome theory in regions outside. By referring to the battered woman syndrome theory, especially the two principal contents of the “cycle of violence” and “learned helplessness”, it is employed as the judging factors of the “objective element”, “time element” and “defense limit element” in the constitutive elements of justifiable defense. Simultaneously, in light of the existing criminal justice system of our country, the author proposes the judgment rule that the anti-murder behavior of battered women in the non-antagonistic type of husband killing constitutes justifiable defense from the perspective of battered woman syndrome. 家庭暴力受虐妇女杀夫是指妇女在丈夫长期的虐待和暴力之下，为了保护自己或者子女而杀死施暴配偶的行为。本文以受虐妇女综合症理论为核心，对受虐妇女反杀案的司法现状进行介绍，分析总结我国目前关于受虐妇女反杀行为的出罪困境，并对受虐妇女综合症理论在域外的运用情况和发展异同进行了考察。通过借鉴“受虐妇女综合症”理论，尤其是其中的“暴力循环”和“习得性无助”两个主要内容，将其作为正当防卫构成要件中“目的要件”“时间要件”和“防卫限度要件”的判断因素。同时根据我国现有的刑事司法制度，提出非对抗型杀夫中受虐妇女反杀行为在受虐妇女综合症视角下构成正当防卫的判定规则。
