Article L423-18 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

When a foreign national has been subjected to family or domestic violence and the cohabitation relationship has been broken off, the administrative authority may not withdraw the residence permit of the foreign national admitted for family reunification and will grant a renewal. In the event of violence committed after the spouse’s arrival in France but before the temporary residence permit was first issued, the spouse will be issued with a temporary residence permit bearing the words “vie privée et familiale” (“private and family life”) for a period of one year.

Lorsque l’étranger a subi des violences familiales ou conjugales et que la communauté de vie a été rompue, l’autorité administrative ne peut procéder au retrait du titre de séjour de l’étranger admis au séjour au titre du regroupement familial et en accorde le renouvellement. En cas de violence commise après l’arrivée en France du conjoint mais avant la première délivrance de la carte de séjour temporaire, le conjoint se voit délivrer une carte de séjour temporaire portant la mention ” vie privée et familiale ” d’une durée d’un an.
