Violence

 Should those who abuse their wives or girlfriends be let free unpunished because they are in a relationship with the victims?

No,the state has a duty to protect women from ill treatment and torture whether from agents of the state or private individuals.it is going against the gender human rights that men who assault others can be charged but pardoned and forgiven if the other is a wife or girlfriend .does it mean abuse is a sign of affection because thats a perverse way to show love.abusing the one you love should be more severely punished because its a betrayal of  love and loving someone shouldnt hurt.im totally against the idea that males have a right to teach their wives by hitting them ,so if the tables are turned and the husband commits adultery,does the wife have a right to beat him up to teach him a lesson?

It is heartbreaking.i totally condemn gender violence and look at Spain .a tecord breaking nine Spanish women were killed by their partners in December this year,the latest a pregnant mother in front of her children.im totally shocked and disgusted  that societal laws failed to protect these women.
