<p>Psychological abuse is a public health and safety problem defined as any act that damages the partner's mental health. This study (N = 260 women) aims to analyse the role of attitudes towards marital coexistence, during the quarantine period, as a justification for the relationship between ideologies based on traditionalism and the acceptance of psychological abuse in women. In addition, we analyse whether the ideology based on traditionalism predicts specific forms of psychological abuse. Women endorse more traditionalist ideologies, justify more through quarantine and consequently more accept psychological abuse. This same relationship occurred in the direct and indirect strategies of psychological abuse. These results demonstrated the role of attitudes towards women's conjugal coexistence in psychological abuse and its forms, in addition to reinforcing the permanent suffering of victims of these types of violence.</p>
