YEREVAN. - Very often women in Armenia are subjected to sexual
exploitation by their husbands. They do not wish to have sex at the
rate their husbands demand yet the husbands force them into having
sex, Women's Rights Center attorney Astghik Karapetyan stated during
a conference on women's issues, and she added that, as a result,
these women are subjected to psychological, sexual, and physical abuse.
Karapetyan also noted that, at many times, Armenia's women are
subjected to economic abuse as well. "The woman works, whereas her
husband and mother-in-law wait for her to receive her salary and give
it either to her husband or her mother-in-law. And, in the case of
psychological abuse, she is subjected to groundless jealousy. They
insult and curse their [that is, the wives'] parents. And, in the
case of physical abuse, they are beaten," Astghik Karapetyan stated.
