I have a friend who happens to be a battered wife..she was always being beaten up by her husband everytime he got drunk.. she don't want to go to the police because she loves him and not to mention she's worried about the kids. What can you advice her to do?

The battered woman defense is a legal defence representing that the person accused of an assault or murder was suffering from battered person syndrome at the material time. Because the defence is almost invariably invoked by women, it is usually characterised in court as battered woman syndrome or battered wife syndrome.

but the problem is.. she can't take any legal action nor sue her husband because of financial difficulties..and not mention she's worried about the kids
