Many theories and concepts in criminal and social psychology has tried to look into the different attributes that lead to the possible acts of violence by the spouses to their respective partners in case of an intimate relationship. But what is more intriguing is the complacence from the women of such partners who are hardly found complaining to the legal authorities or the concerning governing bodies in the society about these abuses.
