“…Here, we specifically point to several indicators of Islamic rulings and norms that show how resistance manifested in Islamic marital norms. In Islam, marriage is viewed as a contract between the sexes rather than a sacrament [34]. The marital contract "solemnizes the physical connection between a man and woman, and serves as the foundation for their marriage" [24].…”

“…If clauses are violated, she has the right to end the marriage contract through divorce. Thus, the Islamic marital contract can help protect women's rights [24,34,53]. Married women also have the right to divorce through Khul', where provision for divorce is at the instance of the wife, requiring her to return her mahr (bridewealth or marital gift) [24,34,53].…”

While domestic abuse is an all too common experience for women worldwide, how people experience the abuse and their resources to deal with the abuse differ. In this qualitative, interview-based study, we examine Saudi women's domestic safety concerns living in Saudi Arabia and the United States. Based on non-Western Islamic feminist views of agency, we identify three key practices, focused on how women resist or deal with their domestic violence. For each practice, we highlight how interwoven cultural, religious, and political contexts impact Saudi women's ability to recognize and deal with domestic abuse. We attend to technology's role in enabling or hindering women's agency. These practices include: 1) recognizing abuse, where women identify abusive situations, 2) managing abuse, where women find ways to cope with ongoing or anticipated abuse within their constraints and resources, and 3) seeking non-abusive futures, where women decide how to mitigate the abuse or leave their abuser. Given domestic violence's complicated nature, we highlight several key design recommendations based on women's values.
