This article uses the 2008 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey to explore the relationship between religion and women’s attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV). It also asks whether modernization, as measured by having a higher education or living in an urban area, can mediate or moderate this relationship. Using latent class analysis to create categories of women’s wife-beating attitudes, and multinomial regression to explore the relationship between religion, education, and urbanity, we find no significant relationship between being Muslim and justifying wife beating. Our data further suggest that neither education nor urbanity mediate or moderate this relationship.

本文使用 2008 年埃及人口与健康调查来探讨宗教与女性对亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的态度之间的关系。它还询问通过接受高等教育或居住在城市地区来衡量的现代化是否可以调解或缓和这种关系。使用潜在类别分析来创建女性殴打妻子的态度类别，并使用多项回归来探索宗教、教育和城市化之间的关系，我们发现穆斯林与殴打妻子的正当性之间没有显着关系。我们的数据进一步表明，教育和城市化都没有调节或调节这种关系。
