I know a few woman who suffered abuse under their husbands, who were generally alcoholics and without a job. Yet they did not divorce them for some reason I don't understand. And well, she was also earning well, too, at least to Turkish standards.
Not that she loved him very much either..I don't know if she was ever raped or whatever...But I know that her husband beat her, she told me.
Sometimes they are trapped in the marriage (ie have no way of supporting themselves), sometimes the abusive spouse threatens to kill them if they leave, sometimes they are blinded by love.
But none of that matters.
If someone is mugged, do you blame them for carrying around a wallet? If someone is hit by a drunk driver, do you blame them for driving in the first place? If someone's house is robbed, do you blame them for having nice things?
No one deserves to be raped, and no one brings it upon themselves.
That will never hold up in court...
