The study analyzed their frequency of being abused, the data; about reasons why they do not report, and the data about the support they hope. This research; discovered that male victims received more financial and psychological abuse from their; spouses. However, male victims do not want to report the domestic violence they received; due to the shameful feeling, the love towards wives and children, and the distrust towards; police.
