Before feminists and keyboard warriors start attacking Mpasho, it must be clear that this is according to a survey that was conducted across the country between May and October 2014 with a total of 31,079 women aged 15-39 and 12,819 men aged 15-54 sampled in select households.
The study found out that almost half of Kenyan women believe men are justified in beating their wives.
In the 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey released yesterday, 42 per cent of women and 36 per cent of men aged 15-49 believe a man is justified in beating his wife.
Why Kenyan Women Prefer Marrying White Men
Those in favor, believe men can beat their wives if they burn food, argue with them, go out without informing them and neglect their children.
Another justification is that a wife should be beaten if she refuses to have sex with her husband.
The survey says neglecting children is the most commonly used and justified reason for beating a wife.
The survey shows five per cent of women and 44 per cent of men aged 15-49 have experienced physical violence since age 12.
