This chapter presents the history and current trends in female partner migration and related legal responses in western, migrant-seeking countries. It specifically analyses this within a context of increasing incidents of family violence as well as high degrees of migrant distrust. While a discourse of ending violence against women has mobilized legal responses for protecting women, including those who are migrants, discourses around migration have emphasized border control and suspicion surrounding migrants’ motivations for moving, including family reunion. Female migrant partners have been depicted in the media and politics of receiving countries, as manipulative and trying to take advantage of the migration system, and these discourses have contributed to the shaping of law, often resulting in their further disadvantage. In some instances, this has led to suspicion around female partner visa holders’ claims of victimization. Nevertheless, some western, migrant-seeking countries have sought to develop targeted responses to family violence cases within this migrant population group. The goal of this chapter is then to provide an overview of these approaches in Australia, Canada, the UK, the USA, and New Zealand. This investigation explores how these legal systems address, or not, ongoing migrant inequality with suggestions for improvement in immigration procedures and law identified.
