We all know that women in Pakistan are more likely to stay in abusive relationships than women in Western world. And when we compare women in Western world with the women in Pakistan, we will know why there is difference. The statistics provided by you might represent women in the West but then imagine what would be the statistics in Pakistan.

Women in Pakistan are not as educated, independent and liberal as in the West. They are expected to continue their marriages despite all the abuse. Divorce is a big stigma in our society and it is very difficult for divorced women to find a good match. The family does not support their daughter to get out from relationships most of the times. The woman does not find it easy to think about the life after divorce because of all the difficulties so she thinks continuing in an abusive relationship will be easy than the life she is going to face later after divorce.

The lack of willingness for women to get out of abusive relationships in Pakistan is clear. I wonder how and why women in the West would take so much long to leave an abusive relationship with such supportive legal and social environment???

I think this is what struck me the most and i wonder why they do so!

Yes the statistic must be higher in the third world i agree with both you and kay z.
