“…Jung and Olson (2017) indicated that such findings might be related to the underrepresentation of Muslims in their sample. Golriz and Miner (2021) also found that in Egypt, being a Muslim is not significantly related to an individual's attitude toward wife beating. However, Golriz and Miner's (2021) sample was highly skewed, and 95% of their sample was Muslim.…”

This study examines the relationships among religiosity, affiliation with Islam, and attitudes toward wife beating. A series of individual-and country-level mixed modeling is performed on a sample of 45,268 subjects in 37 countries. The sample is derived from the World Values Survey. The results show that affiliation with Islam is related to an accepting attitude toward wife beating regardless of demographics; a Muslim's attitude toward gender inequality; or the country's aggregated gender inequality, predominant religion, human development level, and religious diversity. However, a Muslim who maintains a high-level belief religiosity exhibits a less accepting attitude toward wife beating than a Muslim who has a low-level of belief religiosity. Furthermore, a Muslim who lives in a country with a high level of nationally aggregated belief religiosity is likely to have a low acceptance of wife beating. However, individual religious service attendance fails to correspond significantly with individual attitudes toward wife beating. These findings suggest that Muslims' high level of acceptance toward wife beating is not fully explained by their high level of belief religiosity, ritual religiosity, or personal attitude toward gender inequality. In addition, increasing the belief religiosity among Muslims may contribute to decreasing their acceptance of wife beating.

“…Critics of this approach argue that apart from arrogance, this perception represents a poor understanding of historical and ideological contexts and especially the role of poverty and global inequality for women in Muslim countries (Abu-Lughod, 2013; Golriz and Miner, 2021). For example, with all to do with the women situation in Afghanistan, Abu-Lughod is not denying the oppression they faced.…”

The UN’s Reports on Gender Stereotypes in Muslim Countries—Differentiation of Economic Development

This paper explores the differences in the content of commentary reports that the United Nations (UN) addressed to Islamic countries in the Stereotypes section. A significant association was found between types of violations and the level of the state’s economic development. For high-income level countries, the commentaries addressed social perceptions violations. For low-level income countries, the commentaries focused on physical practices violations. Hence, the Islamic character of the country was found to be a minor factor in comparison with the state level of development. The UN’s approach to gender stereotypes in low-income countries involves simplification and reduction, as it treats the symptoms rather than the causes.

Pray for Improvement: Experiences with Mediation of Female Victims of Intimate Partner Violence in Nigeria

This study examines victims’ experiences with informal mediation conducted by Catholic priests and nuns in Nigeria. Interviews were conducted with 20 women who sought help from priests and nuns as they had experienced intimate partner violence. Their expectations before and experiences during and after this mediation were explored. Findings suggest that the level of intimate partner violence experienced by victims remains high, and in most cases their expectations of the mediation are not sufficiently met. Most priests and nuns tend to convince victims to forgive their husband and accept their situation while reinstating the patriarchal mentality without any sustainable improvement. Most victims report revictimization episodes after mediation. Implications for theory and practice of mediation by religious leaders are discussed.
