Dharma is not tolerated, life is not forgiven!

Three men called me when I was driving from the countryside to the city, urgent: Lawyers can provide legal assistance to a woman in Da Nang who was beaten and brutally abused by her husband in front of her children. me? I replied “ready” and stopped by the side of the road to watch the clip and the content of the newsletter that the brothers sent me.

If I am not a person who works in the legal field, needs to read and get information for work, I really do not dare to watch all the clips or read the articles related to the husband beating his wife to such a cruel extent.

As a woman, I am extremely indignant when I see content like this. And I understand the indignation of three newspaper men who have just called out to me about this intolerable violence. They, who have always supported the principle of presumption of innocence when dealing with me and my colleagues, now say: This man must be punished properly!

For me, beating others is a condemnable thing, beating a loved one, a spouse is a ten thousand times more condemnable. And beating my wife in front of children is an inhuman act, there are no words to describe the anger in my heart and the men I have.

The husband’s action here is more than a violation of the law.

Because, even after the investigation and assessment of the injury rate, considering the hooligan nature of the behavior and the husband will have to face legal punishment, it is still not enough for me, especially is for men who are always ready to “up their forearms, lower their legs” with the head on their knees with me!

What strikes me a lot is that there is no provision in the current relevant regulations that states that beating a wife is an aggravating circumstance or considers it a sign of guilt or punishment. Even though we have the Law of Gender Equality, we always use beautiful words to praise the sacrifices of wives and mothers in this life.

Regardless of the reason, no matter how wrong the wife is (that’s “if any”), the “upper leg, lower forearm” with the person who is with her head and knees, the mother of her children is completely unacceptable. On the other hand, he even beat his wife in front of his daughter, forcing his daughter to see his mother being tortured and hurt by his own father that the young himself could not do anything about. How deep is this pain, how deep is this obsession and how long can it be alleviated!

I support strong women and wives who speak up and act to protect themselves. I tell anyone who comes to me that I should learn to respect myself, not let my husband criticize or beat me for any reason. I remind them that I am always my parents’ treasure and I have a responsibility to protect it above all. That is the highest filial piety that we can give to the one who gave birth.

As for children, if you want to leave something for them. It is a lesson about loving yourself and condemning and punishing the person who caused you pain – whoever that person is, even your husband. But here, the hurt is not only for yourself but also for your immature child, a great and lasting injury that is difficult to endure. healthy.

I followed the story and gave a voice to the community, next to the woman who is suffering because of her husband’s cruel abuse. Although the punishment of the law is not necessarily enough for what they have done, it is still a command to prevent similar thugs from happening again.

“Regardless of the reason, someone who beats his wife like that is unacceptable!” – a message from a man who worked as a newspaper messaged me. Yes, macho men, you can do wrong and to some extent people can forgive you, but if you beat your wife so cruelly then the Dharma is not tolerated, life is not. excuse.
