The objective of the present study was to explore the extent to which husband battering is practised among Xhosa-speaking women (n = 138) and men (n = 81) in Transkei. Analysis showed that husband battering is not an unknown sociological practice as a small number of women do in fact beat up their husbands. Contrary to conventional and cultural knowledge wife battering is not a one-way phenomenon although it is practised more widely.
本研究的目的是探讨在特兰斯凯说科萨语的女性（n = 138）和男性（n = 81）中丈夫遭受家暴的情况。分析表明，丈夫遭受家暴并非鲜为人知的社会学现象，因为确实有少数女性会殴打自己的丈夫。与传统和文化认知相反，虽然妻子遭受家暴更为普遍，但丈夫遭受家暴也并非单向现象。
