Im guessing some dont have a choice who they marry as maybe their parents arranged the marriage (or paid for the wedding) and they couldnt back out.
But that would be kind of silly to agree to marry someone you didnt really like. Most wives say he acted all nice at first couple of months but then honeymoon wore off, or he drank and started beating them up. Maybe they had never witnessed them being drunk before.
I think a lot of men just get violent when they are drunk even if they are the nicest guy when sober.
Not to say women dont as well its equal opportunity, I heard of women smashing up tv sets when drunk..they dont tend to beat up the men though, but they can curse a blue streak and yell and scream
