The Omani legislator is keen to provide criminal protection for women from all forms of violence and discrimination. Perhaps the forms of this protection are reflected in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution for both genders equally, and the penalties, severe or not, stipulated in the Penal Code, against the perpetrators of crimes. Oman Laws adopted the approach of imposing penalties against violence crimes without regard to the gender of the violator, victim or type of relationship between them in a number of crimes such as crimes committed by successors against predecessors, and the crime of kidnapping, if the victim was a female. However, the contemporary legislative understanding has witnessed a development in its understanding of the special nature of domestic violence crimes against women, and the impact of the complexities of family relations, culture and prevailing social customs on achieving justice and protection for women from domestic violence crimes. Consequently, the non-adoption of positive discrimination in defining crimes of domestic violence, severing their penalties, and enacting special protection mechanisms and measures has become one of the legislative shortcomings in the penal protection of women from domestic violence crimes. In her study, the researcher followed the comparative-analytical descriptive approach, where she dealt in the introduction with the statement of the nature of domestic violence against women, and devoted the first chapter to shed light on the position of Omani legislator to domestic violence crimes against women In conclusion, the researcher concluded with a number of recommendations that would enhance the penal protection of women from domestic violence crimes in the Omani legislation by deriving the legal model for crimes of domestic violence against women from the penal texts for violent crimes, analyzing them and comparing them with similar comparative laws, and finally studying the Gulf and Arab laws on protection from domestic violence, in an effort to find ways to enhance the penal protection of women from crimes of domestic violence in the Omani legislation. In conclusion, the researcher included the significant results and recommendations.
