I did not provide a link to that study in order to promote the study itself as evidence of what you are suggesting, Wolfgang. I was using that study as an example of the kind of discussion that is happening among Hindu women in India on the subject of domestic violence (as evidence that it is a problem there), and also to show a specific example of Hindu religious tradition that is being used as an excuse for mistreatment of women. I did not read the whole study since it was not my intention to use the data in the study to support any of my points.
