What this research adds
Makes the relational allocation of blame and approval explicit; it is a reported explanation of violence, not the analyst’s justification.
Mental health connection
Do not infer a wife’s disorder, culpability or consent; domestic violence requires its own contextual consideration.
Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.
Established meaning — English

Context of use
The interviewer asks why husbands beat wives who are earning and working.
Learning from the accounts
Reported effects
The phrase accompanies an account of double burdens rather than a named individual symptom.
Attributed origins
The speaker offers lack of the husband’s favour as an explanation; no causal validation or endorsement of violence.
Variation and visualization
The dictionary’s separate knowing-someone’s-mind sense should not be substituted here.
What is uncertain
Do not infer a wife’s disorder, culpability or consent; domestic violence requires its own contextual consideration.
Commonness and evidence limits
Selected uses within the same supplied interviews; not new participants, independent replication, population prevalence or proof of identical private visualization.
Relationships and comparison
These are scoped relationships from the research record, not claims of universal equivalence.
Synonyms and near-synonyms
No exact local synonym established by the cited selections; related and dictionary-sense relationships are recorded separately.
Antonyms and contrasts
No exact local antonym established. Contextual contrasts do not establish a universal lexical opposite.
Across languages
English: win favour; please — Does not imply that violence is justified or that every occurrence concerns spousal relations. [REC-LALEX02]
