Don’t use violence to solve problems

Letters

I want to express my sympathy on the ongoing issue of domestic violence and sexual abuse of women and girls in our so-called Christian nation.
The paramount thing men should consider is that men and women are human beings.
Men are not said to be human beings and women categorised under other living organisms or materials.
Women are same as us men and have equal rights and opportunities in doing anything a man can do.
However, they should follow some guidelines and procedures as married women.
A man cannot just go and bash up his wife if she does a mistake.
A real man should analyse the mistakes that they make with patience and a humble and a sober heart.
We should not act without realising the consequences that may follow in the women’s life and ours.
If you think that she made a mistake, then make a wise decision based on conscience.
You can either forgive and forget, divorce, or take it to the court where responsible authorities can look into that.
Please my fellow countrymen, we should not take the law into our own hands when our mothers, sisters, wives do wrong.
I know it really hurts if you see or hear your partner having an affair or not being faithful.
Try learn to take it calm and handle it in a way that is violence free.
I see, hear, and know of women folks suffering because of domestic violence and sexual abuse, it really worries me.
Everybody makes mistake so we have to learn and live with it.
Let us all learn to say no to domestic violence.
Our country will change and progress if we learn to respect our wives, mothers, sisters and their rights and freedoms.

  • If man cheated on his wife, what will the wife do. FSVU will ask for money, she can not fight, if she tried to speak she will be beaten but instead she will except and live with it. But if a wife cheated on her husband that will be different story.

  • “THE REAL MEN TAKE THEIR MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIPS TO THE CROSS”-BUT FAKE MEN DO RESOLVE IN VIOLENCE!!!
