women choose to stay with their abusive mate. There can be many other contributing
factors to why religious women choose to stay with their abusive mate. However, based

what is that impact, is it the women religious practices that forbids them to ever leave
their spouse, is it the religious expectations that is placed on oneself or could it be the
religious leaders or fellow congregation that encourages them to hang in there when

share their belief, knowledge and experience on the church about the matter. They wanted
to compare the views of the Parishioners who are the church members who never been
abused to the Battered Women on how much of an influence they thought the church
had on domestic violence situations (Manetta el at. 2003:11). The three questions that the
researchers posed while doing this research was 1. Is there a difference in the beliefs of
parishioners and battered women regarding whether or not church teaching contributes to
a climate that supports domestic violence? 2. Is there a difference in the beliefs that
women should be submissive to their husbands among parishioners and battered women?
3. What information about domestic violence do parishioners and battered women believe
