We\'re talking about a wife-beater, folks. I don\'t think \"injuria\" in this context could be taken to mean libel, slander, or defamation. Don\'t recall what jurisdiction is involved, but I also don\'t recall seeing \"injuria\" used with such meaning. More commonly they would be covered by \"calumnia\" or \"difamación\".

injuria can also have the meaning of \"slander\" as in \"defamation of character\" It seems that the person involved was subjected to physical abuse and verbal/mental abuse.
