agree with you
but in this case from the letters it seemed like he wanted to move out but she still wanted to be with him
he cheated and was ignoring her but she still wanted to be with him
so i dont know in this case we can blame the partner
its a debatable issue
ya agree with wife beating
because in the most of the cases in desi society
they dont have family support if they want to get divorce or file complain
but this was not the situation here
Totally agree - it is very debatable.
From what i have seen of abusive relationships - most of them work on a 'carrot and stick' approach.
You first shower the person with attention
then you isolate her/him from all their friends and family
you even disturb their work life
basically your aim is to have the person's life completely centred around you
you then basically treat the person like crap
sometimes with fear, sometimes with love, your aim is to control their life
and whenever you don't get your way, you threaten to leave them till they agree to anything you say
you destroy someone's confidence, their sense of worth, their ability to trust or confide in anyone
... plus in this case, is the added charges of forcing her to abort, not letting her seek medical help and what not ...
I'll say it again. Abuse is very difficult to understand if you have not gone through it. Most people will just say- Why don't you walk away you idiot. But its not that simple.
It happened to my cousin sister. We had to literally drag her out of her sasural where she was getting beaten up. And she would fight with us to actually go back to that hellhole! Even physical abuse messes you up mentally more than actual injuries. So people who treat others like this need to go to jail.
We ask - why did the victim have to kill herself? Its her fault
The real question should be - Why did HE treat another person in such a despicable manner. There should be some basic standards for human decency that everyone should adhere to. And when you don't you should be punished. its his fault.
There is enough to prove that he treated her like crap but honestly i doubt it will have any effect. nothing is going to happen to him
PS: Sorry for the ranting essay. i got carried away. I just feel very strongly about abuse.
