Abstract
Domestic violence is a social problem that still haunts families even with the growing awareness, legalization, and attempts to enforce human rights. This paper will analyse how family tolerance can help in minimizing domestic violence in marital relationships and in this case, the paper will look at how good social values can help in the prevention of conflict and stability. The proposed study is descriptive survey research design and is founded on the sample of 70 families chosen among the local community. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data; it was created to assess the levels of tolerance and the prevalence of domestic violence. The data were analysed using statistical tools, such as means and standard deviations, and the independent samples t-test were used to conduct inferential analysis to determine the differences depending on gender. The results have shown that the greater the tolerance and mutual respect between the spouses, the lower the domestic violence is. Communication, emotional intelligence, and positive conflict resolution were reported as some of the major causes of this relationship. The findings also indicate that the relationship between tolerance and domestic violence does not have any statistically significant differences based on gender. The research points to the significance of tolerance as a core social value that helps to strengthen the family and minimize the conflict in marital relationships. It also highlights the importance of increased awareness, education and social interventions that are meant to enhance tolerance among couples. The study suggests that future studies should involve bigger and more varied samples and mixed methods in order to have a better understanding of how social values can be used to prevent domestic violence.
