摘要：Based on a set of criminal trials that took place in the Caribbean and other contextual ones, this article aims to analyze couple conflicts in New Granada in the colonial period and its criticism by the glimpse of enlightened ideas. The text recovers the main conclusions of a doctoral dissertation prepared with 144 files sent on appeal to the Royal Court of Santa Fe for injury, abuse, mistreatment, homicide, abandonment, separation and divorce during the eighteenth century and the first years of the nineteenth century, which were contrasted with seventeenth-century corpus. This is a research carried out from a gender perspective and based on the configurational theory of Norbert Elias, which attempts to demonstrate longterm transformations regarding the way of approaching and prosecuting violence between spouses.
