Jewish men usually treat women well. That is why in Russia, for example, Russian women preferred to marry Jewish men, because they knew that they would not have drinking problems or beat them.
As for how Jewish women treat Jewish men... ::) that's a different story.
GentileLady:
Very well. It is my understanding that the Ketubah (traditional marriage document/contract) requires the husband to provide not only for the physical support, but emotional support of the wife and children. It is a shame that has to be spelled out, but Christians could take a lesson from this.
It is my understanding that the Ketubah also specifies the support and maintenance due in the event of divorce; something courts are free to modify if it is insufficient, but it can be more generous than that which would be required by secular law. It can also require the husband to grant a "get" (religioius divorce decree) to the wife in the event the marriage fails. It is legally enforceable if referenced in a non-religious pre-nuptial agreement.
MarZutra:
Since Jews founded the entire system of morality and from my knowledge Jewish men treat their women with the utmost respect as per Torah teachings. Orthodox Jewish families are very respectable and very happy. I wish I could say the same for "Liberal" Jews.... but the sad reality Liberalism/Socialism and the like are not Judaism. That is my two cents... M

GentileLady, according to Rabbinical law, if a husband refuses to give the wife a divorce when she wants one the Rabbis used to beat him up until he did so. This is written in the Talmud. However, due to American law the Jews are affraid to do this although it is done some times. My parents told me a story of this woman who hired a mobster to beat her husband so he'll give the get.

And.......I understand the Orthodox community can/will shun the husband....apply social pressure until he grants the get. Beatings may not be necessary. How does that reconcile with "Do not stand idly by the blood of your fellow"? :P
