AS a history major, I appreciate that this subject is being talked about openly. Historic facts about domestic violence, specifically tied to the rise of Christianity and tied to any form of religious fundamentalism must be discussed. I oppose deletion of this page just because it might make some people feel "uncomfortable", especially if the facts warrant the report. We know that domestic violence in the middle ages Europe was not only excused, but encouraged because of the literal interpretation of the bible, specifically where it is said that woman must obey her husband as a servant his master. Since we do live in a civilized, educated society whose basis lies in the anals of information, then the page must stay.
I also oppose deletion, and propose expansion, because if the islam and domestic violence article is purely not a hate page, then there should also be due coverage of christiantiy and dometic violence, because domestic violence has been common in one tiem in both religions.86.150.147.133 (talk) 12:25, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The table in the section "Incidence of domestic violence among Christians" consitutes original research. It appears wikipedians have decided that 92% is christian enough for inclusion and then looked at domestic violence statistics in those countires as if to draw some conclusion about christians. I suggest it not be reinserted. IRWolfie- (talk) 00:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There was a Template:Synthesis tag placed on the article, with no explanation in the edit summary and nothing placed on the talk page.
I've started the conversation here to get more information. @Keepdry:, if you could add your concerns, there, that would be great!--CaroleHenson (talk) 09:54, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Few empirical studies have examined the relationship between religion and domestic violence,[1] however, four major surveys of wife assault found no causal relationship between men raised in a "patriarchal system" and incidence of wife assault,[nb 1] and faith groups endorsing hierarchical marital structures do not appear to report higher rates of interpersonal violence.[nb 2][2][3][4][5][unreliable source?][6]
This passage sticks out as possible original research, particularly regarding the statement about "four major surveys", unless one of the sources explicitly states this claim. Six footnotes for the last sentence are also a red flag; two or three reliable citations should be enough to support this claim. —Coconutporkpie (talk) 18:37, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

References
I removed that: "Christian women are often silent and accepting of any domestic violence that they may suffer."
Because
1/ It's a personal opinion from the author.
3/ Where are the sources? The proof? The survey?
2/ It's wrong and very very very general. What is a "Christian woman"? A catholics, an orthodox, a baptist...etc?
the author are so ignorant in religion and sociology, that they seem to think that something called a "christian woman" exist, and that they have all the same rules, morales, behaviour, accross all the cultures of the world.
