Not surprising at these figure but these are just sensational. There is much more domestic violence occuring on both sides of the marriage than what is reported. There is a vast majority who just suffer in silence. It is just not physical violence per se.

It has to do more with the mental agony and torture. I have always held that women are the stronger sex in many ways than one with respect to a man, who is just physically stronger.

Women have the mental strength, aptitude and resilience. With their enormous abilities in relationship management(mental torture) a man in comparison is just plain dumb. To overcome this a man resorts to physical violence.
