In many jurisdictions, a woman may marry another woman. Such a marriage does not include a husband and is referred to as a "same-sex marriage." Also, in many religions, especially the Roman Catholic Church, nuns are said to marry the Christian Messiah. Theologians may argue whether there is a physical husband in such a marriage; however, such unions are not legally recognized in any jurisdiction, since marriage laws generally require both spouses to be physically present, submit legal proof of identity, and explicitly consent to the marriage being performed.

* This is called 'mental abuse' and it can be just as bad as physical abuse; physical abuse leaves scars you can see, but mental abuse can leave psychological scars that you or others are not aware of. People who 'put down' their partner are actually insecure in themselves. If your husband is not physically abusive to you then it's time you gave yourself a boost in confidence and stood up for yourself and tell him he either gets some counseling (both of you) or the marriage is over. If he refuses then it's to your best interest to leave the marriage because as years pass mental abuse can often turn into physical abuse or the husband can leave without warning.
