Among the root causes of such violence are the common perceptions that wife beating is a normal part of married life and that a husband has the right to hit his wife as a way to discipline her if she does something to upset him, and because he is supposedly the main breadwinner or head of the family. (...) The abuse usually starts with neglect and lack of resource provision for the first wife and her children, but can escalate to physical and sexual violence, and in some cases murder. The practice of polygamy also creates tension between women within the same family and has led to cases of violence, sometimes resulting in murder of the husband or the additional wife/girlfriend. A large number of women interviewed in the Bomana prison were serving lengthy sentences after being convicted for the murder of their husband or the additional wife/girlfriend. 23.
