Inter-Generational Domestic Violence, Causes, Consequences, And Rehabilitation Strategies Among Women Of Shelter Home

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive picture of the intergenerational acceptance of violence
under the deep-rooted mechanism of patriarchal culture, which manipulated the traditional
role of men and women in a religious context. Qualitative research strategies, emic approach,
and inductive reasoning method enlisted the causes, consequences, and rehabilitation
strategies of domestic abuse among women who resided in the shelter home. Demographic
characteristics of the participants, their parent's family profiles, and their spouse's family
backgrounds were added to the existing literature. It helped to understand how the
systematic deprivation of women's inheritance rights from intergenerational levels with the
mutual consensuses of the parents, families, society, and even witnesses by the religious
leaders were normalized. Expecting dowry instead of dower, "Haq Meher," and crossing the
women's rights (mentioned in the Nikah Nama) at the time of marital contract without
permission from the women were depicted as oblige pictures of the collectivistic culture.
