AB - Emotional abuse in marital or committed couples has been reported differently in literature. There has been
a traditional theme that husbands are significantly more emotionally abusive toward their wives. This trend,
however, has been changing due to the social participation and educational uplift of women. The current
study intended to explore the prevalence and levels of emotional abuse among husbands and wives. The
study involved 177 husbands and 139 wives and administered the Multidimensional Measure of Emotional
Abuse to assess the levels of emotional abuse among the respondents. The findings revealed that husbands
felt significantly more emotional abuse from wives.
