 Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to find out what types of violence that husbands inflict on their wives are most common among married women in the city of Ha'il, Saudi Arabia, and what causes it. The study used both descriptive and analytical methods. The descriptive method was used to achieve the objectives of the study, and the analytical method was used to show how the variables in the study are related to each other. The study relied on a questionnaire to collect primary data, including personal and social variables. The study relied on a comprehensive survey of all the studied abused women (130 women who visited King Khaled Hospital and the Civil Protection Center from September 2019 to December 2019). The results of the study indicate that psychological violence and economic violence are the most common types of violence. Physical violence ranked third. The findings also suggest that working women are less affected by violence in all its forms than non-working women and that women who have children are more affected by psychological violence than women who do not have children. The results suggest that there is a relationship between the husband's religion and his tendency to be violent. While there is a negative association between the husband's violence and the level of education and the three types of violence, there is no association between the age of the battered woman, the level of education, and exposure to all forms of violence The study recommends that there should be rehabilitation centers for those seeking marriage, especially young people.
