Foreigners suffering domestic abuse at the hands of their partners will no longer automatically be deported from Denmark if they leave the relationship. Foreigners granted residency because of their relationship with their Danish-based partner can apply to remain in the country after the relationship ends if they have lived together in Denmark for more than two years – if not, they may be deported. As a result, many victims of abuse choose to remain in violent relationships to avoid being deported to their home country. But now the Justice Ministry has proposed a new law that will mean that foreigners who are victims of domestic abuse will not automatically be deported if they end their relationship early.
