The figures were revealed as part of the Crime Survey For England and Wales and have been published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). It asked some 38,500 people about their experience of, and attitude to, violence.
Among the statistics, it found that while most adults (76%) did not agree to any violence against a loved one, a small proportion felt was acceptable under certain circumstances. For example, 9% of adults said they approved of "hitting or slapping" a partner who had cheated, while a further 3% said it was acceptable if their wife or husband was found to be flirting with other people. For one in 100, they said it was an acceptable response to "constant nagging or moaning".
For men, 10% said it would be acceptable to slap their wife if they cheated, compared to 8% of women who would slap their husband if he had an affair, while the younger generation were found to have a more relaxed attitude to violence than their peers.
In the 16-19 age group, one in six said it was "always or mostly acceptable" to hit or slap a cheating partner; 14% of 20 to 24-year-olds said the same, with this figure falling to 10% among the 25 to 34-year-olds. Only 5% of couples between the ages of 45 and 54 said it was acceptable.
When it came to flirting with other people, again, the younger generation were more forgiving of a slap (5%) compared to just 1% of 45 to 54-year-olds.
