This study aimed to describe the social and cultural etiology of violence against women in Jordan. A sample of houses was randomly selected from all 12 Governorates in Jordan, resulting in a final sample of 1,854 randomly selected women. ANOVA analysis showed significant differences in violence against women as a result of women’s education, F04.045, α00.003, women who work, F03.821, α00.001, espouser to violence F017.896,α00.000, experiencing violence during childhood F0 12.124, α00.000, and wife’s propensity to leave the marital relationship F012.124, α00.000. However, no differences were found in violence against women because of the husband’s education, husband’s work, or having friends who belief in physical punishment of kids. Findings showed women experienced 45 % or witnessed 55 % violence
during their childhood. Almost all 98 % of the sample was subjected to at least one type of violence. Twenty-eight percent of the sample believed a husband has the right to control a woman’s behavior and 93 % believed a wife is obliged to obey a husband. After each abusive incidence, women felt insecure, ashamed, frightened, captive and stigmatized.
