According to symbolic inter-actionism, the crucial factor that indicates why women remain in abusive relationships is:

how the victims define their violent situation.

Explanation:

In the sociological framework, Symbolic inter-actionism means that individuals create or deduce the symbolic meaning of the world around them by social interaction. Therefore they tend to give subjective meaning to the ideas, thoughts, feelings, and behavior of others which may not be the objective reality. As per the question, women in a violent relationship accept it because in their symbolic meaning they justify it and forgets about the objective reality that it is wrong.
