Intimate Partner Violence is prevalent in African societies. Current scholarship states that religion penetrates cultural experiences in Nigeria because it is revered highly as a source of guidance. However, there is little research that explores how a specific demographic interprets religion and apply it to their lives and their view of the world. Moreso, studies have failed to outline how personal interpretations of religious principles inform negative ideologies that cause social issues such as domestic violence. Though IPV happens in homes, across gender, ethnic, and religious lines, this study focuses on exploring the experiences of Nigerian Christian Women in the household and situations of IPV. The study adopts an exploratory research design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. Findings revealed that religious beliefs played an essential role in sustaining the culture of domestic violence that exists in Nigeria. This occurs through religious texts interpreted to sustain the belief of men as the head of the household and women as subordinate to them. Violent homes are also preserved by religious beliefs that are averse to separation, even in times of conflict. Because religion and religious texts are broadly stated, individuals apply them to their lives in various ways. Regardless, because religion is seen as supreme when personal beliefs are tagged as religious, they are impossible to dispute using logical evaluation. Participants are aware of religion’s stronghold in Nigeria and how this could lead to detrimental effects. However, they acknowledge they feel pressure to succumb to social expectations because it is part of how they practice Christianity. To reduce the prevalence of domestic violence, it is important to recognize the role religious beliefs play in perpetuating this. To objectively approach social issues, it is important to separate personal religious beliefs from social issues. The findings presented here call for everyone to reevaluate how they justify harmful narratives. It encourages them to prioritize their role as citizens and draw the line on when a religious belief is going awry.
