Abstract

The current study seeks to identify the impact of complete closure and rules of quarantine during the Corona pandemic on the spread of violence against wives, and to analyze marital social relations within the family during the Corona virus. The study relied on the descriptive approach and on the case study as a general method for the study, and the interview tool was used, and it was applied to a deliberate sample of (20) single women and divorced abused women inside Giza Governorate.
The study reached several conclusions: an increase in the exposure of battered wives and divorced women to the most intense and brutal types of violence during the Corona pandemic; an increase in marital problems and disagreements that led some women to get divorced from their husbands as a result of their violence and beating of their wives during the pandemic. Those women got divorced due to the violence of their husbands, and the failure to meet the basic needs of the family in terms of food, clothing and medicine during the period of the Corona pandemic. The study found that low family income and job insecurity of husbands during delinquency were among the most common causes of violence against wives. Among other recommendations, the study suggests that relief institutions should provide support and safety to women vulnerable to exploitation and domestic violence during an epidemic Coronavirus Pandemic.
