Marco legal — United Kingdom

Homicide Act 1957 · Domestic Abuse Act 2021 · Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (Clare's Law)

Pena: Murder: mandatory life imprisonment (minimum 15 years). Manslaughter: up to life.

The UK does not have a specific 'femicide' offence. The Femicide Census (Karen Ingala Smith) documents all UK women killed by men. The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 created a new offence of non-fatal strangulation.
