Why Don't Abused Wives Leave Their Husbands Summary: This paper is on the topic of domestic violence and why wives do not leave their husbands. Many women leave their abusive husbands temporarily, but nearly "three-quarters of women who left eventually returned home" (Kit, 2003, p. 271). Cultural beliefs form the reasons that women do not escape from the abusive situation, and economic realities are the products of those learned cultural beliefs.
