What does "grave abuse" mean?

Hello everyone,

I’m not sure if this topic belongs in this category, but I was wondering if anyone can clarify what “grave abuse” means in Catechism/Canon law within marriages?

Thanks so much!

See here for a commentary on canon 1153. (You have to scroll down a bit.)

See here for a USCCB web page on domestic violence.
