The egwugwu, which are ancestral spirits in Igbo culture, settle disputes in the community by holding a court-like gathering where they listen to both sides of the case and provide a verdict. In the case of wife-beating, the egwugwu would likely condemn the behavior and impose a punishment on the culprit to deter similar actions in the future. They also aim to restore harmony and balance in the community.
