What causes women repetitively involve in the destructive relationships?
A relationship is called destructive or abusive when a person whether male or female enters
into a relationship which deters his or her well-being and growth because of the harsh
behaviour of the other person towards them. In today’s time, it is being commonly observed

extremely male-dominated and low women-empowered societies. The low status of women
in the society does not allow them to raise voice against the violence and abusive treatments
caused to them by their partners or family members (Ross & Catherine, 2017) . Even if
women try to gather some courage to take actions against the abuses that they face
repetitively in their routine lives, they are threatened or violently punished from the counter

when even think of taking actions against the abusive and violent practices on part of their
husbands or partners. The emotions and feelings of women let them forget and forgive their

of reasons that cause the women to repetitively become the part of abusive relations.
Woman’s concern about their family and her own social image restricts her to take
