Sexual violence against married women is one of the most dangerous types of sexual violence, due to the refusal of many Arab societies to recognize it and consider it a right of the husband.

First: The causes of sexual violence against married women:

Research and surveys in many countries have proven that the most prominent causes of sexual violence against married women are the marriage of minors and the forcing of girls into marriage. In the following lines, we explain to you the causes of sexual violence against married women in detail.

Underage marriage:

Underage marriage is widespread in Upper Egypt and the countryside, and it is one of the causes of sexual violence against married women, because the underage girl will not accept intimacy easily, which leads the husband to sexually abuse her to complete the relationship.

 Forced marriage:

A wife who is forced to marry refuses to be approached by her husband, and the husband does not find a way to persuade her to have an intimate relationship except by coercion and violence, and this is one of the causes of sexual violence against a married woman.

Violent sexual practices:

Violent sexual practices are considered the most dangerous types of sexual violence, especially if they are forcing the other party, and those who commit such acts need extensive psychological treatment to get rid of these pathological behaviors.

Second: Ways to confront sexual violence against married women:

Dialogue is the first way to solve any problem between two parties, and therefore every wife who suffers from sexual violence from her husband must tell him about her rejection of these unhealthy practices, and tell him how upset she is about this matter.

In the event that the husband does not respond, we advise you to contact a relationship and family problems consultant, to find out the best way to deal with this husband, and we remind you that it is possible to communicate with the relationship consultant on the Ask website in complete secrecy, whether with a question or an online consultation, at prices starting from 80 pounds for a 30-minute session To book a session, click here.

Separation is the best solution to get rid of this harm, if the husband refuses to admit that he has sexually abused his wife and refuses to change, and there are many human rights centers that support battered wives and help them obtain their freedom.

It is worth noting that sexual violence against a married woman leaves a great psychological and physical impact on the wife, and may push her to commit suicide, if she does not have the strong will to confront the matter, and the wife in such cases needs to follow up with a psychiatrist, to get rid of the bad effects of the violence she received.
