102. Domestic Violence - An Islamic Perspective This is not to say that domestic violence is a Muslim problem. A woman is beaten up every 9 Muslim men are beating their wives next door to you and me. http://www.themodernreligion.com/women/w_dv.htm

Domestic Violence exists in all quarters of society. This section was created to specifically address domestic violence within Muslim communities. This is not to say that domestic violence is a Muslim problem. A woman is beaten up every 9 seconds in America. See Domestic Violence in the West There are two categories of guilty people: 1. The ones who inflict the physical and mental abuse. In most cases, the father and husband. 2. The ones who try to hide the fact that people belonging to category 1, do exist. These people are men and sadly, women too. It is naive at best and irresponsible at worst, to claim that domestic violence does not exist in our communities. Denying it does not make it go away. When this section first went online, several people complained: "I was a bit mad at that time when Isaw the site that you had. The site could make people believe that Muslims are violent as the western media has deliberately done this against Muslims." (from someone who used the nickname servant of God) Firstly

I was only 10 years old when I was handed over. For days after, I was sexually abused. The first time I felt a lot of pain because he was too big. He told me he was nearly forty years old. I felt so bad because I was still young, but I had to accept to sleep with him. I was afraid that if I refused he would carry out his threat to kill me. I had no love for that man." Filda Ayet was ten years old when the Lord's Resistance Army abducted her from her home in Pabbo's Camp for internally displaced people, 24 kilometres from the town of Gulu in northern Uganda. She spent over four years in captivity before finally escaping in February 2005. Girls as young as 8 years old have been taken into the bush where they are indoctrinated into the ways of Joseph Kony – the LRA's leader and self-proclaimed prophet. Girls are used as domestic slaves, raped and assigned as "wives". They can be allocated from line-ups, selected by commanders or given the chance to choose their own "husband" by picking out his shirt from a pile on the ground.

September 20, 2005 In India, Domestic Violence Rises with Education Run Date: 11/06/03 By Swapna Majumdar WeNews correspondent Debate about the cultural underpinnings of domestic violence in India is being stirred by a study that found a woman's risk of being beaten, kicked or hit rises with her level of education. NEW DELHI, India (WOMENSENEWS)In New Delhi, India, a brilliant doctor tries to commit suicide after her husband slaps her for contradicting him in front of his friends. In Manila, Philippines, a former beauty queen tells police she was coerced into "entertaining other men" after being locked in a room without food for days by her husband. In Santiago, Chile, neighbors respond to distress calls from a woman battered by her husband for refusing to let him watch a particular TV program in front of the children. In Cairo, Egypt, the wife of a highly placed bureaucrat finally speaks up after enduring years of physical and mental abuse for being unable to bear a child. The incidents were documented in a series of studies carried out by the Washington-based International Center for Research on Women in collaboration with independent Indian researchers. The cross-cultural study looked at the problem of domestic abuse in India, Egypt, Chile and the Philippines and found that violence against women was prevalent across regions, communities and classes. New Round of Debate While the findings are not new, the study has incubated a new round of debate about the cultural underpinnings to domestic violence, especially in India, where the study found a woman's risk of being beaten, kicked or hit rose along with her level of education.
