In my doctoral course I studied the experiences of women in South Asia abused by their families (Mirza 2015). In addition to the abuse of the partner, the abuse of her mother's mother also proved to be a big problem. However, this is one aspect of the neglected South Asian women's experience, and much of the research on domestic abuse focuses on partner abuse (Scottish Executive, 2003). Little is known about the nature of maternal and child relationships and how to enhance women's abuse and oppression in the context of domestic abuse

You will know whether you are in an abusive relationship or not? This is clear. I agree. Most women abused by male partners spend months or even years thinking that this relationship is not an abuse. This is a "communication problem" or "boundary setting failure". Maybe you may think that your partner has a bad mood or anger management problem. Perhaps you think that you have a problem whether you did something wrong. In our society, women are often confused as we are not good at talking about abuse.

When talking to an abused woman, I often hear they mention that they chose contraceptive methods, and male partners can not refuse. We think that women who received violence by an intimate partner may not be able to use contraceptive devices in each country. This is the reason for the abortion of women abused by partners and the reason for the high HIV infection rate.

In the family, the problem of disappointment the ideal of men, might be especially serious for the men who work for the partners. In 1993, the survey of 8,461 Canadians women with male partners, they are employment, if they partner is unemployed, they abuse, were more particularly systemic and risk of severe abuse . Women who are employed by the partners of the unemployed also, likely to be the subject of compulsory patriarchal control, in other words, because you do not want to talk to other men have a jealous husband, partner Try to limit contact.
