While the abuse should certainly not happen, I have limits on my sympathy for these women.
They willingly turned their lives over to the cult. They would likely report their husbands to the bishop for looking at porn, or whatever.
If they are getting punched in the face, why do you need the help of a bishop? Why do you not immediately leave and call the police?
If the bishop tells you to go back home and get punched again, why would you do that? Is it the money or what? Are you being paid to get punched? Is money and status worth being abused? Apparently some think so, like the Hollywood stars who were "afraid" to report abuse because they "feared" they would lose million dollar movie deals.
If you allow evil people to do evil things to you because you want the benefits, I don't feel sorry for you.
Also, it is interesting that in general, people think domestic violence is pretty much all done by men. I keep wondering why half the reports in the news aren't of women beating their men. Because several studies show that women commit at least as much physical abuse, and more emotional abuse and manipulation.
Hard for me to believe that similar things aren't happening in the church.
Here is a study by the Centers for Disease Control that showed, "More Men than Women Victims of Intimate Partner Physical Violence" and "Men were also more often the victim of psychological aggression and control over sexual or reproductive health".
