In many countries of Africa husbands beat their wives mercilessly for very simple reasons.A woman worker of my country visited some African countries as an UN volunteer.She narrated her experience in a local journal.There are many single mothers in Africa.Their husbands left them and their children. These unfortunate women are doing heard labor to save their children and themselves.In Asia also it's a common scenario .In this continent also wives are beaten by their husbands.A white UN volunteer told our country's woman UN worker that white men also have the tendency to beat their wives.But they can't do so.Because if they do so they will get punishment by the court.Law prevented them to beat their wives.

In my home country if a husband beats his wife he would be likely to be arrested by the police. The lady could divorce him because of unreasonable behavior. Violence is not acceptable in my home country. A husband is meant to love his wife. I think it is is sad that husbands can be allowed to beat their wife in some countries in Africa and Asia.

Thats very sad to hear! Its not just white that are protected by laws it is anybody who lives in a country that has these laws. I live in England and much to popular belief it is a very multi-cultural country and white people are the ethnic minority even though originally it was a white country. We have laws to prevent getting hit as women but these laws also apply to women hitting men as that too is a common occurence. Many people beleive that domestic violence is all done by males towards females but many people would be surprised to know the statistics for women hitting men. i knwo this isnt what you was discussing but thought your facts needed a bit more substance and hope this helps you!
