Abstract Wife battery has been around since time immemorial, and people are wondering if this kind of behavior is acceptable in Islam. The conceptions about Islam, for that matter Muslim community are often that Islam is supportive of wife battery. These assertions are based on some literal interpretations of verses from the Qur’an and sections of the Hadith and Sunnah. Therefore, a better understanding of Islam and wife battery may be useful for the general public, female victims, gender advocates, attorneys, and non-governmental organizations working with victims of domestic violence. This paper measures the extent of Islam’s support or otherwise for wife battery and the consequences of battery on the social status of Muslim married women. As such, the study presents a comprehensive discussion of Islamic interpretations of wife battery. A qualitative research approach, particularly useful for eliciting information about sensitive issues, was employed. The study also adopted an explanatory case study. The country has a large non-Muslim population, so out of sixty respondents, only ten were Muslims who qualified to be part of this study. The study revealed that the women had varied socioeconomic backgrounds and characteristics. Their socioeconomic status was affected as most of them were isolated, divorced, head single-parent families, or lived with one parent.
