Reasons for staying in relationships based on violenceA literature review
Keywords:
domestic violence, intimate partner violenceAbstract
Data from literature indicate that during their adult life, every third or every other woman is experiencing violence from an intimate partner. For many years researchers studying this phenomenon have tried to answer the questions: why is this happening? why do victims of domestic violence still remain in it unfair relationship? why cannot people who experience domestic violence, end this relationship? Unfortunately there is no clear answer to these questions. In the literature, both the social structure and a complex set of values, traditions, customs, trends and beliefs regarding the role of gender cultivated by most of the cultures, are indicated as a source of violence and the reasons for staying in relationships based on violence.
