Three things come into play in this scenario Chitra.
First is the strength factor, generally women are not as strong as the men , built, height,strength wise. And physically it no wonder they are called the weaker sex.
Secondly the conditioning of the Indian women especially that being hit by husband is okay because of Pati parmeshwar, they are Llowed a lot of leeway and
Thirdly in India generally husbands are elder in age so cannot hit elders.badon pe haath nahi uthaate.
But husbands should deserve this respect being elders that choton pe haath nahi uthaate..
If a man has the maturity to accept his wife as an equal, he will not hit or resort to beating .
