“…There was little variation in rates of FMPV by type of group affiliation. Consistent with findings by Brinkerhoff et al (1992), differences in rates by group affiliation were not statistically significant. In multivariate analysis, however, couples in Liberal groups were at moderately elevated risk for MFPV compared to unaffiliated couples.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health issue. Few studies, however, have examined the role of religion in IPV perpetration and victimization. This study analyzed the contribution of religious factors to IPV risk and prevalence among a sample of 1,440 married couples interviewed for the 1995 National Study of Couples. Results indicate that rates of IPV did not significantly differ by couple homogamy/heterogamy or type of denominational affiliation. Attendance at religious services at least weekly was associated with lower rates of IPV perpetration among men and with lower rates of IPV victimization among men and women. These findings were attenuated in the multivariate logistic regression analyses. Study findings suggest that religion does not have a strong or direct influence on the occurrence of IPV; alcohol-related problems, however, may be a mediating factor. Despite the null findings, religious institutions can play an important role in primary and secondary IPV prevention.

“…An analysis of large-scale Canadian data similarly found no differences in men's perpetration of violence by religious denomination (Brinkerhoff et al 1992). In contrast, a recent qualitative analysis in the U.S. found that religious leaders from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths expressed concerns that religious teachings of male leadership and female submission could be interpreted to support abusive behavior (Levitt and Ware 2006).…”

“…[10][11] For instance, studies indicate that 10-58% of women have experienced physical abuse by an intimate partner in their lifetime. 12 Furthermore, crosssectional studies show that 40% of women in South Africa, 28% in Tanzania and 7% in New Zealand reported that their first sexual intercourse was forced. 13 Violence against women is evident in many forms, including domestic, verbal and physical abuse, rape and sexual assault, early and forced marriages, incest and female genital cutting.…”

To facilitate the design of effective programmes to eliminate violence against women in Nigeria, this paper examined women's perceptions of wife beating. The data were derived from the 2003 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Both descriptive and analytical methods were used to assess the net effects of sociodemographic factors on women's perceptions of domestic violence. The study demonstrates that a large percentage of Nigerian women agreed that a man is justified in beating or hitting his wife; 66.4% and 50.4% of evermarried and unmarried women respectively expressed consent for wife beating. Respondents' approval of wife beating or abuse varied by personal attributes. Ethnic affiliation, level of education, place of residence, wealth index and frequency of listening to radio were significantly related to concurrence with wife beating. This paper highlights the cultural factors responsible for, and negative effects of, domestic violence against women in Nigeria and makes a case for raising public consciousness against it. RÉSUMÉDans le but de rendre plus facile la formulation des programmes efficaces pour l'élimination de la violence contre la femme au Nigéria, cet article a étudié la perception des femmes à l'égard de la violence contre la femme. Les données ont été recuillies à partir de l'édition de 2003 de l'Enquête sur la Santé et la Démographie au Nigéria (ESDN). Les méthodes descriptives et analytiques ont été employées à la fois pour évaluer les effets nets des facteurs socio-démographiques sur les perceptions qu'ont les femmes par rapport à la violence domestique. L'étude a démontré qu'un grand pourcentage de femmes nigérianes étaient d'accord que l'homme est justifié de battre ou de frapper sa femme; 66,4% et 50,4% des femmes qui ont jamais été mariées et les femmes non-mariées respectivement, avaient exprimé leur accord sur la nécessité de battre ou de frapper la femme. L'approbation des interviewées sur la violence contre la femme variaient selon les attributs personnels. L'affiliation ethnique, le niveau d'instruction, le lieu de domicile, l'indice de la richesse et la fréquence de l'écoute radiophonique, étaient liés de manière significative à l'approbation de la violence contre la femme. Par exemple, l'indice de la richesse avait un rapport négatif en ce qui concerne la violence faite à la femme par son mari. L'article met en valeur les facteurs culturels qui sont responsables de la violence domestique contre la femme au Nigéria et ses effets négatifs; il propose aussi des arguments pour éveiller la conscience du public contre elle.
