Religious leaders from Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths were interviewed about their understanding of the intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV) and religion. The present article explores the leaders' understanding of how relationship dynamics relate to IPV, focusing particularly on concepts of equality and submission. On the whole, the leaders were concerned that religious prescriptions of disproportionate power, such as the teachings of male leadership and female submission, could be interpreted to support IPV practices. Tensions between leaders' desire to salvage marriages and to protect victims are explored.
来自犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教的宗教领袖就他们对亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)与宗教交叉点的理解接受了采访。本文探讨了这些领袖对关系动态如何与亲密伴侣暴力相关的理解,尤其关注平等和顺从的概念。总体而言,这些领袖担心诸如男性主导和女性顺从教义等权力失衡的宗教规定可能会被解释为支持亲密伴侣暴力行为。文中还探讨了领袖们挽救婚姻的愿望与保护受害者之间的矛盾。
