mso-bidi-font-family:”Times New Roman”””>When all the identified reasons are considered, 66 percent of women and 56 percent of men justify wife beating (GSS. 2006).
mso-bidi-font-family:”Times New Roman”””>As a result of such attitudes, it has traditionally been very difficult for women to report such abuses to the authorities. The fact that the police often dismiss domestic violence as a private issue rather than a criminal one has also been a huge impediment to women prosecuting their violent husbands. How can adult education be used to flush out this social cancer?
