Abstract
This paper deals with the determinants/Causes of Spousal violence and how this violence affects women’s autonomy/Freedom. It presents a plain theoretical study on spousal violence and its causes. There are two types of onlookers on the issue of spousal violence the Feminist and the evolutionist. Both the feminist and the evolutionist agree that one of the major part of gender relations is the need for men to control the sexuality of the women. The Feminist believe that patriarchal set up of the society is the root cause of the spousal and domestic violence, where males do whatever is needed to exercise their control over women and keep them under their control in order that women accept all what is ordered by the men. On the other hand the Evolutionist has it that the spousal and the domestic violence ultimately erupts from paternity uncertainty among the men. Spousal violence, in this view, erupts from the insecurity and jealousy that males feel when their partners are exposed to the possibility of sexual encounters with other males that is when they go out interact with the outside world outside their family for day to day life purpose. So in this paper we will come across the various types of the spousal violence inflicted on women and what are its various causes.
