I know a senior academic staff in a university who was abused by her not well to do husband
Those not well to do husbands are even the most abusive due to their inferiority complex

RIP to the dead, assuming the story is true. Some men are extremely irresponsible I agree, but some women are absolutely unmarriageable! My Dad and mentor told me thus: "It is wrong and unacceptable to beat your wife, however beating her is justifiable if that is all you need do to remain the man of the house". Even the bible charges women to be submissive. I have never seen a virtuous and submissive wife abused by any man. Sometimes men are pushed beyond the elastic limit.

It's really pathetic.May her soul RIP.This should serve as a lesson to us.A problem shared is half solved.There is no gain dying in ignorance.I beleive that is the reason we have marraige counsellors.Besides couples should learn to settle amicably and forgive quickly b4 the issue gets out of hand.Men should love their wives and women should respect their husbands.Remember,there cannot be two captains in a ship.May God help us.

Mujah1deen: so far you and the members of your feminazi gang are the ones ganging up people who are against divorce, you are the ones throwing tantrums, calling women who want to fix their marriages dumb etc .so kindly get married and do whatever you want, but don't come here single ,lonely with your pseudo bravado to mislead people or talk about what you don't know. Anyway by the time you get married and start pooping babies ,your speech would b different
Hahaha! Really? What makes u fink i'm not married,hmm? I hv to post my wedding pix to convince u? Feel free to voice ur opinion,but gone are the days when women were cowards.I'm a strong advocate for women empowerment.Call it tantrums,i no send.We've got to start somewhere.I dn't condone violence frm my man,why shld other women do so? Religion is not an excuse to oppress women.Sheesh!

I cannot fully blame the woman. Alot of woman stay in abusive marriages because of financial dependence. Which sometimes they bring upon themselves ( by allowing to stay at home because a man suggests so), laziness or because of unemployment situation.

Name a financially independent person who tolerates any kind of abuse.

Give all woman Economic Power and Freedom, things will turn around. undecided undecided undecided

cry cry cry cry Sad for her though
That is why women need to become financial independent its time they start taking advantage of programms like YOUWIn.so that when the man who is supposedly your hubby and ought to be your protector starts misbehaving.....u know what to do na wink wink

it is obvious you are single. If you were married you would know that marriage brings up more responsibilities that can't be thrown away because your husband slapped you, especially if you have children, you need to work on your temperament. Besides, I have never heard about a man who beats his wives for the sake of it, there is always something behind the scene. You see this is the attitude I was talking about, why don't you mind your business? Did they send you message? Get married and deal with your future husband the way you want, but you should know that the first reflex from someone who is really married is to fix his marriage .period
I don't know how religion is oppressing women

what exactly is ur arguement,young man? That a woman whose husband shows no signs of stopping his violent acts shld remain in the marriage b'cos ''certain religious'' beliefs are against divorce.Like,seriously
Well,thank God some of us are not under any religious obligation to remain in a violent home!

Some women would rather be treated like crap by men due to financial dependence, some due to either the status of being a married woman, or the fact that they just can get themselves to leave the man, all to have another woman get a share of the man's wealth or to to take over what she felt she started........while some stay because they've addicted to the comfortable lifestyle .....some due to lack of self esteem, because they've afraid of either starting all over again or being single for the rest of their lives.

soul_glo:


The most powerful role model in a child's life is the parent of the same sex. The most well known example is Chris Brown whose mother let her boyfriend abuse her in presence of her son. Chris Brown later said that he hated the man so much he wished he had a gun as a kid. He wanted to kill him. Fast forward a couple of years in the future and he brutally assaults Rihanna even though the thought of a man putting his hands on his mother sent such a rage through him he wanted to murder the man. Does his mother have some responsibility? Sure. She taught her son that it is okay to stay with a man that did things like that thereby passing on the message that spousal abuse is not such a bad thing. At the end of the day the person we should focus on is the adult who chose to put his hands on someone else. I have never seen a man that came from a family were women were respected and treated no less than men that just get up and start hitting females. They usually learn it from their fathers or male figures of authority in their lives.
You are so damn right.Sons who watch or see their mother abused by their fathers are likely gonna do same to their wives...Fact

BarryX: Rantings! Rantings!! Rantings !!!
I don't fancy a situation where some obnoxious ladies view a scenerio along gender lines -- trumpeting a feminine style that is biased and unappealing.

Until we start thinking on what the other "rational" party feels before taking some harsh decisions, we might not be able to answer the battering dilemma that confront us daily in our society.

NOTE: Ain't holding brief for murder or battering as it were, but hoping we give fair" appraisals in situations between two rational/sane beings living together under marraige conditions before jumping into some hurried conclusions/judgement.
Why are you getting angry?Do you abuse your wife?or your girlfriend? undecided

Since Nigerian women don't like to divorce their husband why dont u start a campaign so that we can properly place u as devil incanate that you are. Do I blame u? Have u ever been married? Would d woman in question have found joy, if she is divorced like u?

Moral bankcrupt pple like u can start a shameless campaign telling pple to divorce their husband thereby goin contrary against d plan & purpose of God for mankind. Does that means
pple cannot die because they re divorced? Or why do
u think her failure to divorce was d reason she
died?

Have u ever consider d pain ur evil counsel will bring on other pple in the marriage like d children? Pls learn to shut up ur mouth on things u don't understand, pls.
