Universally, men and women suffer in relationships before or after marriage which is detrimental to health. This paper examines the percentage of intimate partner violence in both the highly educated and non-educated families to ascertain which one has a higher percentage of violence than the other. It also aims to investigate variations in the causes of intimate partner violence in both family types and to examine the effects of the violence on both families. The study adopts purposive sampling among market women and civil servants in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area, Victoria Island, Lagos. The techniques used in this study are questionnaires and interviews among these chosen classes of people. The sample size is 200: 100 men and 100 women. The paper concludes that the percentage of domestic violence is higher in the illiterate families, though the causes and effects are slightly different. The paper recommends education to curb domestic violence in the non-educated society. (original abstract)

Powszechnie wiadomo, że kobiety i mężczyźni będąc w związkach, czy to przed ślubem, czy po ślubie, doznają krzywd, co niekorzystnie odbija się na ich zdrowiu. Autorka analizuje odsetek przemocy partnerskiej w rodzinach wykształconych i niewykształconych w celu ustalenia, gdzie ten odsetek jest większy. Bada również różne przyczyny przemocy partnerskiej w obu kategoriach rodzin i jaki ma to na nie wpływ. W badaniu wykorzystano metodę doboru celowego. Grupa badawcza obejmowała kobiety pracujące na targu oraz urzędników państwowych z Eti-Osa w Lokalnym Obszarze Administracyjnym, Victoria Island, Lagos. Wielkość grupy to 200 osób: 100 mężczyzn i 100 kobiet. W badaniu posłużono się kwestionariuszem i wywiadem. Stwierdzono wyższy odsetek przemocy domowej wśród rodzin niewykształconych, choć przyczyny i wpływ tej przemocy są nieco inne. Według autorki drogą do zmniejszenia przemocy domowej jest edukacja.
