This paper x-rayed the spate of violence against women by using Mrs. Osinachi who died due to injuries she suffered from domestic assaults as a case study. It espoused the counsels and teaching of the Christian doctrines and how these are employed to manipulate women to accept and continue to endure the harsh and intimidating relationships with their spouses.
