Migrant women victims of domestic violence might face a stark choice between leaving an abusive relationship and tolerating the abuses so that they can preserve their residence rights in the host country. EU law suffers from some major limitations in addressing this situation. In view of the EU ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women (‘the Istanbul Convention’), will the EU be required to take new measures in light of the demands imposed by Article 59 of the Istanbul Convention that addresses the residence rights of migrant women victims of violence? By clarifying these demands and juxtaposing them with the relevant EU law standards, this article shows the divergences and convergences between the two regional European legal orders. It also forwards concrete suggestions as to which EU rules might need to be modified.

在新娘那边？欧盟和欧洲委员会法律规定的家庭暴力受害者及其居留权

家庭暴力的移徙女性受害者可能面临着在离开虐待关系和容忍虐待之间做出的严峻选择，以便她们能够保留在东道国的居住权。欧盟法律在解决这种情况时受到一些重大限制。鉴于欧盟批准了欧洲委员会《防止和打击暴力侵害妇女行为公约》（“伊斯坦布尔公约”），欧盟是否需要根据《伊斯坦布尔公约》第 59 条提出的要求采取新措施：是否解决了受暴力侵害的移民妇女的居住权？本文通过阐明这些要求并将其与相关欧盟法律标准并列，展示了欧洲两个地区法律秩序之间的分歧和趋同。
