I just read an article which states that Jewish battered women stay in abusive relationships four to eight years longer than other women. Also, while 50% of women return to men who abuse them, among Orthodox Jewish women, it is 95%. I am wondering if anyone has other information regarding the intersection between cultural issues and domestic violence.
