We first consider various definitions of violation as suggested by web dictionaries:
- 1. misdemeanor: a crime less serious than a felony
- 2. an act that disregards an agreement or a right
- 3. trespass: entry to another's property without right or permission
- 4. irreverence: a disrespectful act
- 5. rape: the crime of forcing a woman to submit to sexual intercourse against her will
Each of the five may be adapted to personal forms of violation at some level
1. Misdemeanor: Depending on your state, province, or country of residence, many forms of personal violation are illegal. Emotional, physical, and sexual abuse or neglect are all illegal in many settings.
2. There are certain rights that we possess in the context of any relationship. We have the right to say "no," and we have the right to make our own choices as long as those choices do not infringe on the rights of others.
3. Although the third definition generally refers to physical property there are personal space issues that can just as surely be violated
4. While this typically refers to violation of spiritual values, it might also be said that our mind and body are sacred and therefore should not be subject to violation.
5. Rape by most definitions includes many activities other than sexual intercourse and is not gender specific. Any form of forced sexual activity or harassment is considered to be violation.
We have no comment about the legal side of violation. That is not our area of expertise. However we do have comment on how to recover if violation has occurred in your past
