The headline makes it look like 50% of married women are routinely beaten by their husbands. In fact, it means that half of all women, at some time in their lives, have been involved in a marriage, shackup or dating relationship where at least one incident involved some pushing, shoving or hitting. So voila, a 50% rate of "domestic violence."

BTW, I'm sure a lot of guys out there have been slapped, pushed or shoved by a wife, shackup or date. Maybe even 50%?

Even then the figure seems high. Maybe they include things like a man hitting a wall or table out of anger.
