Is it illegal to hit a woman in self defense?

In California, the answer is yes. California prosecutes domestic violence aggressively, but the violent party isn’t always a man. The law recognizes that women can be guilty of domestic violence, and if you are in fear of imminent bodily harm or of being unlawfully touched, you can use force to defend yourself.

How can a domestic violence case be dropped?

The answer is no. Once the prosecutor’s office has issued a domestic violence charge, the victim has no authority to drop the charges.
