thanks blondie!
In my experience, it was NOT tolerated.
Fortunately I have not been confronted with cases of physical abuse. I think psychological abuse is more widespread (and more difficult to prove). In most cases men get away with it quite easily.
When it comes to marital problems (I am not talking about abuse), I learnt that it is better to stay away (this is not my wish but the conclusion after several negative experiences). I have met couples that came to the elders when
a) they have already decided what to do and just wish to have some "moral" support for their decision (separation / divorce)
b) look for counsel they will not listen to
Whatever you say, if things go wrong (and in most cases they will go wrong) at least they will have someone else to blame (the elders) for their failure.
