Why only these countries? It would be interesting to present data on the “developed” world on this subject, too.

If you click on the graphic, you will see the statistics from UNICEF and where it obtained the information.

The studies conducted on this issue in Jordan later proved to be flawed, which means that the statistic above for Jordan is incorrect.

disappointed that no “lines” are included to indicate nations where women say NO husbands/anyone have the right to hit and abuse!

In Jordan, the study asked a sample of women two questions: 1. Is it ok for a husband to hit his wife under certain circumstances 2. Is it ok for your husband to hit you under certain circumstances. For the first theoretical question, a large number of women said that there are circumstances under which a husband may hit his wife. For the second question, very few women said it would be acceptable for their husband to hit them. The reason for this is that most of the women in the study were from lower socio-economic classes and had very little education, making the first theoretical question less representative of their real views than the second.

On the reverse , there might be countries where men believe it’s OK for wives to hit them! Here women are liberated. As per the graph women avoid conflict and maintain peace.
