Wife Beating

Battered women usually stick with their husbands and do not complain to proper authorities maybe because they are ashamed to tell the world about it and they are still trying to save the marriage. When women gets abused, either physically or emotionally, they try to endure it on their own or just ran away. And then husband will again try to woo her back with sweet promises. She goes back with him and the abuse is repeated again. Its a vicious cycle. Battered wives should be empowered to leave an abusive relationship. Women should have a job of their own so that they will not cling to their husbands for economic reasons. Some women just try to endure the situation because they cannot support the kids on their own. In any form, physical or emotional abuse is not fair. And men who does this to their loved ones are sick, they need psychological treatment.

taht makes me sick. I dont know why men do that. My dad used to beat my mo when i was a kid. He used to do that to us to. I dont put up with it. They need to turn them and and leave. No one needs to live like that. Yes maybe if someone shows a man how it feels mabye they will stop.

Wife beating is getting more common nowadays... i don't know why other women accept it as their fate to be punching bags of their husbands... some of them say that it is their fault... other say that they stay with their husband beater for the sake of their children... these are marely excuses... Family or not... the husband i not and will never be given the right to beat his wife or any member of his family... and the wife should also stand up for herself for the sake of her life and her children's future...

I agree abuse on women in every country not just third worlds is bad. I don't know where a man gets off beating a woman and to this day I cannot understand for the life of me why most of these women never say nothing until its to late. A few years back after moving 4 hours away from my mom she started dating this guy who at first seemed really nice. I didn't like him from the start but I'm not about to tell my mom who she can date. Well they dated for a few months and one day I get a call from my sister that he beat her up. I was furious and told my mom to call the cops and we even fought over it. Now my mom is disable on the right side of her body and maybe weights a whole 90 lbs where this guy was about 190 with no disabilities. A really tough guy eh? Anyways after a few hours of talking she said she wasn't going to involve the law and if it ever happened again she would call. Well It did happen a few more times but I never heard about those until after the big incident. Well I got a call it was shortly before Christmas a few years back from my mom saying he did it again only this time the story was horrifying on what she endured. She told me early the night before he showed up at her apartment. They were broken up at this time. Anyways he pounded on her door for about 2 hours before she said it got quite and she thought he left. Out of know where she said he kicked in her front door came running in and started to strangle her. After this he punched her a few times then almost bit a chunk out of her mouth. This kind of abuse went on clear into the night and morning and not once the neibours called the police. Like they where in a town of 4,000 people and no one heard anything? Anyways around 4 am she said he had fallen asleep with his leg over her so if she moved he would know and wake up. The next morning he told her if she said anything he would kill her. God he almost did I told her. I said to call the cops again but she didn't want to. This time thou she was lucky to be alive so me and my sister and one of my mom's friends called the cops and they came and took pictures. She could barely talk, could not hear out of one ear, severe headaches and ringing in her ear. Later on that day he came back and tried to break in again but the police where on the look out and got him finally. After he was in custody we found out he did this to another ex girlfriend of his years before and he also had sexually abused some poor deaf mute girl. He got 3 years only for this and was released last year. He was only out for 3 weeks before the cops caught him again drunk driving down main street on a stolen 3 wheeler. I agree I think these men that choose to terrorize and abuse woman in any shape or form should have some kind of severe punishment other then just sitting in jail. They learn nothing in jail except to be better criminals and how to cover their tracks better. My mom almost became a satistic because the law fail to keep track or an eye on an already convicted monster! Women have to be careful and keep their eyes open at all times.

yes i agree that women should not accept the brutality of thier husbands and surely complain to the police , but in india the social set up is such that husbands are considered to be gods and women thier devotees . many castes doesnt allow women many rights so they are just dumped up in home . some cant even think of complaining . therefore i think its the duty of the police and lawholders to be vigil to any such kind of social mishaps . if the subjects cant reach the governers then the governers should reach them . beating wives is very common so it is not dificult for the police to identify the affected localities . i think law should be more active in preventing such activities and should not wait for the complains to log in

Anyone who physically or mentally abuses another person is a coward and should be punished. There are very strict laws about that in the US. For example, If I hear my neighbors having an argument and I tell the cops that I saw someone even "push" the other person. The cops are required to take the offender to jail. They have no choice. The unfortunate thing is that just as soon as they get home it starts again.

women should be brave.. they should know their right..

Women who are battered by their partners usually do not inform the authorities or anyone for that matter because they are ashamed, afraid, have low self-esteem and they sometimes feel guilty. WEll the shame and guilt work hand in hand. The woman feels that it might be her fault that she is being beaten by her partner and she feels ashamed that she has brought this type of action upon herself and she must now deal with it. A woman feels afraid to tell anyone because maybe the partner has threaten her that if she tells he might take away the kids from her, he would tell everyone that she is lying, he might threaten her family or in general he would exert any type of control over her to keep her fearful of him. A battered woman has very low self esteem because the partner is constantly telly her that she is no good that if she leaves him that no one would want her, he would tell her that her family do not love her. He would try to make her feel taht the only person that care for her is him and only him. That is why a battered woman is not willing or able to break out of that mold that the batterer has put her in. These men themselves have very low self esteem, the like to exert control over others and since they are afraid of facing other men, they pick on women. I guess it make them feel more manly to beat up a woman. I believe that it is the responsibility of society to report if a woman or a child is being abused if it is suspected. This is a very serious and ongoing problem that needs to get fixed as soon as possible because no one deserves to be treated that way.
