The relationship between Islam and domestic violence is disputed. Even among Muslims, the uses and interpretations of sharia, the moral code and religious law of Islam, lack consensus. Conservative interpretations of Surah An-Nisa, 34 in the Qur'an regarding marital relationships find that hitting a woman is allowed. Other interpretations of the verse claim it does not support hitting a woman, but separating from her. Variations in interpretation are due to different schools of Islamic jurisprudence, histories and politics of religious institutions, conversions, reforms, and education.〔Hajjar, Lisa. (2004) Religion, State Power, and Domestic Violence in Muslim Societies: A Framework for Comparative Analysis. ''Law and Social Inquiry.'' 29(1):1-38.〕 Domestic violence among the Muslim community is considered a complicated humans right issue due to varying legal remedies for women by nation, the extent to which they have support or opportunities to divorce their husbands, cultural stigma to hide evidence of abuse, and inability to have abuse recognized by police or the judicial system. == Definition == (詳細は''Domestic Violence.'' ) Merriam Webster. Retrieved 14 Nov. 2011.〕 Coomarswamy defines domestic violence as "violence that occurs within the private sphere, generally between individuals who are related through intimacy, blood or law…(is ) nearly always a gender-specific crime, perpetrated by men against women." It used is as a strong form of control and oppression.〔Coomaraswamy, Radhika. (Further Promotion and Encouragement of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. ) United Nations. Economic and Social Council. 5 Feb. 1996. Retrieved 19 Oct. 2011.〕 Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, declared in a 2006 report posted on the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) website that: Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions. At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime with the abuser usually someone known to her.〔Moradian, Azad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islam and domestic violence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
