A lot of it comes from a pervasive “tough guy” attitude.
Domestic abuse that is a part of the culture; even justified by religious texts and has a whole institution with governmental support is different than your "usual" domestic abuse. For example:
In Saudi Arabia and Jordan, a girl can lose her life if her family knew about her having a secret affair with a man. We are not speaking about a "drunk" boyfriend; but we are speaking about your own family holding knives to kill you and throw you in the garbage:
