They were given a demographical information form which asked about their educational level, marriage duration, the presence of children, number of children, intensity of physical violence and job status during their marriages. Their experience of marital violence was examined through the questions that whether they got social support from someone to cope with the difficulties, whether their children were exposed to physical violence, whether they have got psychological support, whether they were exposed to physical violence in the family in which they grew up,and whether they were being threatened by their husbands when they have decided to break up.
