Abstract
This paper explores the prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence, especially emotional abuse, in Pakistan and discusses the fundamental religious perspective of Islām (Sharī‘ah). The dominance, control, isolation, and harassment in intimate relations for degrading purposes are all examples of emotional abuse. The impact of emotional abuse on the relationship between spouses is long-lasting and ranges from physical health to mental health and other social relations of the victim. This study explores various forms of emotional abuse prevailing in Pakistani society. Furthermore, it also discusses possible solutions for offenders of emotional abuse in the light of the Islamic perspective. A mixed-method research methodology is used in the current study. Firstly, the prevalence of emotional abuse is studied by conducting an online survey, and then content analysis of the Islāmic perspective on emotional abuse is discussed. This phenomenon is prevailing in Pakistani society, although Islām protects the rights of partners and discourages any type of violence in interpersonal relationships, including intimate partners.
