Among the different factors that contribute to the maintenance of processes of female submission to violence suffered in the marital sphere, we would highlight the generational transmission of gender protocols (TGPPG) from mother to daughter as the main constructor of female conceptions about their role in the social order. The inheritance of the maternal psyche results in the reproduction of an idealized relationship model that includes motherhood and male protection. Captured by the discursive ambiguity that surrounds the TGPPG, women internalize feelings and behaviours of submission to supposed male authority; unilateral responsibility for maintaining the emotional bond; emotional dependence on men; blame for the dissolution of the emotional relationship; devaluation of their professional skills and, consequently, trivialization of the violence perpetrated against them in a space where they should feel safe.
