Not just physically or verbally. That is not enough for the muslim men who act like beasts in heat. They rape them too. Repeatedly. Then persecute them, calling the women whores.
TURKEY: NEARLY 40 PERCENT OF WOMEN ABUSED, POLL
(ANSAmed) – ANKARA, FEBRUARY 12 – Four out of ten Turkish women are victims of physical abuse by their husbands and only a fraction report it to authorities, according to an official survey released today and published by daily Hurriyet website. The poll, conducted among 12,795 women in summer of 2008, found that 39% of those were “slapped, pushed, punched, choked, burnt or threatened or attacked with a weapon such as a knife or gun”. Fifteen percent said they were victims of sexual abuse, described by the survey as being physically forced to have sex, having sex out of fear or being forced to engage in degrading or humiliating sexual acts. One in four women was injured as a result of physical or sexual violence. The poll, released by the governments office on the status of women, said that 48.5% of the victims did not tell anyone about the abuse while only 4% sought help from police and a mere one percent sought refuge in state-run shelters. (ANSAmed).
Why the low numbers who sought police help or refuge in shelters? The same reason in as women in Jordan. No protection is offered to women, as they are seen as property of muslim men. I recall a verse in the quran about going into a woman as one would with a plow in a field. My wording is off, but you get the jist of it.
