Below some of the reasons why women are sometimes considered to be a major cause of domestic violence:
1. Nonchalant
Most women who suffer domestic violence must have somehow seen the
signs while they were dating their husbands. But many women prefer to
live under the illusion that the men would change or they are probably
madly in love with them. Love is not aggressive, it is kind. Love would
not hit you hard and make you lose your mind. Some women have been hit
by their partners during courtship, yet they make up excuses for them
and still walk down the aisle. A man who beats you before marriage could
kill you as soon as you become his wife.
2. Thirst for materialism
Some women do not want to live within the means of their husbands
and end up bruising the men’s ego. They are too sophisticated for the
men they are married too and confront the men with this point. Some
women make their husbands feel worthless while shun theirs openly.
Attitudes like these could frustrate anyone and bring out the beasts in
them.
3. Infidelity
It is not appropriate for anyone to cheat within the clause of
marriage; the society promotes men as philanderers who cannot be checked
as a result of their sex. This could hurt a woman and also push her to
explore that option too. As women, if you must cheat, please endeavor to
do things the proper way. If you are tired of that union, find your way
out peacefully. But do not ever mock your husbands by flaunting your
extramarital affairs in their faces. Those that tried it are six feet
under the ground, and those who lived to tell their own tales are not
healthy now.
4. Unchecked utterances
Women are known to be loud most times with many nagging every
little chance they have. Certain words spoken by women also infuriate
the men and could make them go beyond their limits. The tongue is a
sharp sword; some use their tongues to bring down their husbands and
make them depressed. Do not use yours to destroy your home. Although
this is not a justification on the men’s part, it would be wise for the
women to steer clear of things that may birth trouble in that marriage.
5. Failure to leave an abusive marriage
We understand that most of the women in our society are good
mothers ‘abiyamo’, we implore you to stop using your children as an
excuse to put up with domestic violence and abuses in your marriage.
These children would grow up and become what God wants them to be. If
you die during a fatal domestic violence, these kids’ lives continue.
Women find different excuses to stay in abusive relationships.
Some profess their love for the men who beat them and think they
cannot do without them. Some simply enjoy the doses of affection that
come after a violent attack from their husbands. Marriage is not a do or
die affair. Any union that would steal your peace and cut short your
life span is not worth fighting for.
