This is a case about Republic Act 9262 or the law on violence against women and children, which usually involves a husband committing violence against his wife. The issue resolved here is whether said law applies to lesbian relationships.

This is the case of Sarah and Lisa, who have been in a relationship for 16 years until they broke up while celebrating Christmas in Hong Kong. When they got back to the country, Sarah would come to their house to get her belongings then leave to spend the night with her lover.Later, Sarah demanded that Lisa leave the house and forced her to sign a Deed of Sale over the said house. Lisa refused to leave and sign the Deed of Sale.

Lisa followed Sarah to her car but Sarah repeatedly crushed her hand with the door of the car, causing her to fall to the floor and suffer fracture of the left wrist that required surgery and physical therapy. The RTC, however, denied the Motion to Quash on the ground that any person could be liable, whether the violator is a man or woman. Was the RTC correct?
