I would say that the difference is that getting hit during sex is something the people involved usually (or should) agree upon as okay first. It is further okay, because one or both get pleasure out of it.

From what I understand, the women getting beat by their husbands in these certain don't like it - but don't consider it violence either. They see it as having "deserved it." Much like getting a traffic ticket in the U.S. None of us like getting one, but it is certainly not violence. So to reiterate, I don't think that these women defined it as violence, despite the fact that they don't like it. This doesn't mean that it's not violence (it most definitely is), because as we agree, they don't know any better.

But now we are wayyy beyond the scope of Marlene haha :P
