Should a woman continue staying in an abusive relationship?

Question

This woman in question has one kid with the man.  She is beaten and told either to go and live in the village or leave.  She is denied her conjugal rights and the man moves with other women shamelessly bringing them to their matrimonial bed.  He can spend weeks from home denying the wife and child food. 

We marry for better or worse guys,  don't we?  The Bible advises against divorce. Right?  We should live for our babies. 

Answer 1

No, you don't have to stay in abuse what even. Even the Bible allowed marriages to end if certain things were done that weren't accepted. Even in Bible times not feeding your wife and child for long periods of time was not allowed, and straying wasn't ok either. I mean not committing adultery is one of the 10 Commandments for crying out loud. And clearly for better or worse doesn't mean allowing the relationship to go BEYOND worst and into things that break the commandments like adultery or abuse and starvation. You aren't a slave when you are married, you're a SPOUSE and even the Bible says husbands and wives should be a team and work together. There are also annulments you can get if your wedding vows are broken or you can prove that the marriage isn't real or something, like clearly if the husband is cheating and living with other women, he's broken several of his wedding vows, and if he's leaving the wife and child without food for weeks at a time that proves the marriage isn't legit and should be annulled as well. You're never stuck in an abusive relationship just because you had a wedding to this person.

Answer 2

Physical abuse can cause many chronic (long-lasting) health problems, including heart problems, high blood pressure, and digestive problems. Women who are abused are also more likely to develop depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. Women who are abused may also misuse alcohol or drugs as a way to cope.

in the mentioned situation no wise person can exist. when the male of family has no intention to spend time with an innocent woman, there is no other reason for suffering. More regret is expressed for their child.

Answer 4

Every relation survives with love and care. if there is no element of love and care in your relation, you should not continue such a abusive relation. you should be independent to take decision of life and look forward. 

Answer 5

No, of course not. Stay away from your partner once he have hurt you. No matter what kind of abuse, that shouldn't be done to someone. If you can, bring the kid with you, maybe he'll hurt the kid too if you've left him.

Answer 6

My answer is not with respect to Bible. But even in my country, many people belittle woman on divorcing or getting separated from their husband. In fact, there is no such concept as Divorce in Hinduism, the word is adopted from the western world. Although there is a law, Hindu marriage act, under which a man can be arrested for marrying more than one woman.

However, A woman must not be obliged to stay in an abusive household or marraige. She is not a pest to be trampled again and again by a man she dedicated her life to.

Marraige is a pious bond but the moment one of the partners betray the other, it is broken.

Answer 10

In marriages, there must be differences and different opinions and sometimes it may lead to abusive relationships .my advice is to try as much as you can to solve the problem and reconcile if not bearing  fruits then walk out peacefully.

Answer 11

It depends on what she's looking for in a relationship maybe she doesn't mind at all and would go in and on with the abuse.Therefore it's her choice to stay or leave.

Answer 12

Before walking out of any relationship, try your best to resolve issues by dialogue. I don't encourage people to stay in abusive relationships, but rather seek solution to the challenges that exists and if nothing works, then break free. Relationship is more of understanding your partner and working together to face the daily challenges of life.

Answer 13

No one should stay in an abusive relationship. It is never okay for anyone to be physically, emotionally, or verbally abused, and it is important that you take steps to protect yourself and your child. It is not healthy for you or your child to stay in an abusive relationship. It is important to remember that you have the right to be safe and to be treated with respect. You can reach out to local resources for help and support.
