Why would a man beat is wife?

I was fortunate to read the picture above and kemi olunloyo's reply to it, even if I don't support the use of severe insults I do think the woman is mental unbalanced and probably suffering from some kinda psychological disorder yeah!.

Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, battering, family violence, dating abuse, and intimate partner violence (IPV), is a pattern of behavior which involves the abuse by one person against another in an intimate relationship such as marriage, cohabitation, dating or within the family. It can be experienced by persons in heterosexual or same-sex relationships. Forms of domestic violence include physical, emotional, verbal, economic and sexual abuse, which can range from subtle, coercive forms of abuse to violent physical abuse that results in disfigurement or death. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that globally 38% of murders against women are committed by an intimate partner.

Domestic violence often occurs because the perpetrator believes that abuse is acceptable. This produces intergenerational cycles of abuse and cultural systems that condone violence. Extreme forms of abuse include various forms of homicide, including honor killings, dowry killings, and violent assaults such as acid attacks. Awareness, perception, definition and documentation of domestic violence differs widely from country to country, and from era to era.

Often there is a cycle of abuse during which tensions rise and an act of violence is committed, followed by a period of reconciliation and calm. There are different types of intimate partner violence, and the dynamics of the abuse can vary. In some cases there is a sole abuser, where there may be times when the victim acts in self-defense or retaliation. In other cases there may be mutual or common couple violence where both partners engage in abusive or violent behavior.

Individuals may be trapped in domestic violent situations through isolation, power and control, insufficient financial resources, fear and shame. As a result of abuse, survivors may experience physical disabilities, chronic health problems, mental illness, limited finances, and poor ability to create healthy relationships. Victims may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Children who live in a household with violence may continue the legacy of abuse when they reach adulthood. Domestic violence often happens in the context of forced and child marriage.
