Respondents expressed full awareness and strong agreement on economic, physical, psychological, and sexual abuses, with acts as very seriously committed by husbands to their wives. Those male respondents, young, single, Roman Catholics, with higher education, employed, low monthly income, and living in the rural areas tended to become more knowledgeable of the economic, physical, psychological, and sexual abuses as provisions of RA 9262 than their counterpart. Male respondents, young, single, Roman Catholics, with high education, employed, with low monthly income, and living in the rural areas tended to show stronger agreement on the provisions of economic, physical, psychological, and sexual abuses of RA 9262 as very serious acts of violence committed by husbands against women and their children.
