Ans: B

Battered immigrant women face legal, social, and economic problems different from US citizens who are battered and from people of other cultural, racial, and ethnic origins who are not battered: The battered woman may come from a culture that accepts domestic violence. She may believe she has less access to legal and social services than do US citizens. If she is not a citizen, she may be forced to leave the United States if she seeks legal sanctions against her husband or attempts to leave him. She is isolated by cultural dynamics that do not permit her to leave her husband; economically, she may be unable to gather the resources to leave, work, or go to school. Language barriers may interfere with her ability to call 911, learn about her rights or legal options, and obtain shelter, financial assistance, or food.

Ans: C

An abusive husband often believes his wife belongs to him (like property) and becomes increasingly violent and abusive if she shows any sign of independence, such as getting a job or threatening to leave. Typically, the abuser has strong feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem as well as poor problem-solving and social skills. He is emotionally immature, needy, irrationally jealous, and possessive. By bullying and physically punishing the family, the abuser often experiences a sense of power and control. Therefore, the violent behavior often is rewarding and boosts his self-esteem. A typical pattern of abuse exists: Usually, the initial episode of battering or violence is followed by a period of the abuser expressing regret, apologizing, and promising it will never happen again.
