The incident took place in west Kildare on February 20 last and the man appeared by videolink at a Naas District Court sitting on April 6.
Sgt Jim Kelly said it would be claimed that the woman was struck by the man with an open hand in an incident at the family home.
Gardaí were called to the scene and there was blood present on her lip.
