在阿拉伯和伊斯兰国家，尽管家庭暴力日益频繁并造成严重后果，但仍未被认为是一个主要问题。埃及、巴勒斯坦、以色列和突尼斯的调查显示，至少三分之一的女性被丈夫殴打。对这类暴力的漠不关心源于这样一种态度，即家庭暴力是私人事务，通常是对妻子不端行为的正当反应。《古兰经》中的精选片段被用来证明殴打妻子的男人是在遵循上帝的戒律。这些宗教理由，加上维护家庭荣誉的重要性，导致施虐者、受害者、警察和医疗保健专业人员加入沉默的阴谋，而不是揭露这些罪行。然而，公平地阅读《古兰经》表明，虐待妻子，如外阴残割和“名誉杀人”，是文化的结果，而不是宗教的结果。
In Arab and Islamic countries, domestic violence is not yet considered a major concern despite its increasing frequency and serious consequences. Surveys in Egypt, Palestine, Israel and Tunisia show that at least one out of three women is beaten by her husband. The indifference to this type of violence stems from attitudes that domestic violence is a private matter and, usually, a justifiable response to misbehaviour on the part of the wife. Selective excerpts from the Koran are used to prove that men who beat their wives are following God's commandments. These religious justifications, plus the importance of preserving the honour of the family, lead abusers, victims, police and health care professionals to join in a conspiracy of silence rather than disclosing these offences. However, a fair reading of the Koran shows that wife abuse, like genital mutilation and "honour killings" are a result of culture rather than religion.
