Since a large percentage of churches don't understand dv, they will often put the pressure on the woman to hold the marriage together and some religions teach that if you divorce for other than adultery, you'll burn in hell. That has a huge impact on these women. You need an 8x10 glossy of him in the act or something!

Others are afraid of being alone and use religion as an excuse. To them, it's easier. They just don't have a clue and no self-love.
