Recently, Chuey Chu of Pulse took to the streets to sample reasons why domestic violence continues to wreck havoc in relationships. “Is it okay for a man to hit a woman,” he asks passersby, and the responses are surprising.
One commentator explained that as the head of the family, he beats his wife when she ‘misbehaves’, and he cited a scenario that led to one of the beatings: his wife stayed out late at her sister’s place. And that was it.
Another said the reason he hits his partner is to instill ‘sense’ in her, while a young boy said it is simply okay, that at the slightest irritation, it is okay for a man to hit a woman.
There are some who vehemently disagreed with the idea. One even suggested taking a walk when upset, or even downing a bottle of beer to ‘cool temper.’
Some women spoke too.
So, is it okay to hit a woman? Meet Nigerians and their various opinions on the subject:
