In France, in 2021, the number of perpetrators of homicides within couples varied according to sex and age group. The homicides recorded by the source include murders, assassinations, and intentional assaults resulting in death without the intent to cause it. People aged 70 and over accounted for 20 percent of the victims and 25 percent of the perpetrators of violent deaths within couples. In particular, men over 70 represented a significant share of perpetrators of homicides within couples. Female perpetrators, who were very few, were most often between 40 and 49 years old.

Disputes, unaccepted separations, jealousy, and the victim's illness are the main causes of the act regarding homicides within couples.
