Spousal violence is a persistent global phenomenon. This book documents an analysis of some of its causes, methods and consequences from an ethical perspective. It recommends a paradigm shift in understanding spousal violence from its being a normal societal behaviour to a gross human rights violation. The author argues that relationships of dominance, control and power that characterize marital relationships should be replaced with those of justice, equality and freedom for integral development. The book is highly recommended for policy makers, scholars, students and researchers in the discipline of Philosophy and marital conflict management in universities and other institutions of higher learning.
