I have just heard that a friend beat up his wife, after she was unfaithful ?

Question

the worst thing is she accepts it - what should i do? she ended up in hospital, but nothing serious surely this is illegal.

Answer 1

Give your a*****e friend a flogging. Beat him black and blue.

NEVER NEVER NEVER is it ok to beat a woman. No matter what she has done.

Then help him get a divorce from that unfaithful w***e and move on with his life.

Answer 2

She probably felt like she deserved it because she cheated on him.  If she doesn't press charges, there is nothing that can be done.  I suggest you sit back and mind your business.

Answer 3

Yes, it is illegal and you should tell someone what he is doing to her, if you are a true friend to her then you need to help her. She is probably in denial and a lot of battered woman are brainwashed by the man into thinking that they deserved the beating, she may be unable or too scared to get help herself. Hopefully since she is in the hospital, the Dr's will contact some kind of protective services for her.

Answer 4

are you crazy?

beating a women is not acceptable under any circumstances

regardless of what she did

and just looking at the problem as a bystander

is a worse thing to do

do something about it!

Answer 5

It is assault but only if she decides to press charges, it is really up to her to do that but she is probably terrified of him, which is understandable, although on the other hand maybe he was just upset and things got out of hand.

It's hard to tell without all the facts, if I were you I would just keep an eye on the situation to see if it gets any worse

Answer 6

its not legal eaither she should tell the police she needs help en she should stop cheating

Answer 7

You do not get some women do you ? Because of the beatin he respects her as a man again. They are both messed, stay out of it.

Answer 8

love does mad things, if I was him I'd leave her cheating ***

Answer 9

Tell her to call the police. Since he is your friend ask him what the ***** is wrong with him.

Answer 10

It is illegal

Answer 11

depends.on why she cheated on him  

Answer 12

Yes it is illegal it is called spousal abuse however if she doesn't press charges against him there is nothing you can do.

Answer 13

Unless she want's to press charges its difficult.  

Answer 14

Yes it is. I have also encountered women who accept violence as something they deserve, and find it hard to understand. You could report this to the police, but you need to ask if that would help or not.

Answer 15

Common in developing countries.....where do you live?

Answer 16

Of course it's illegal.  It's called assault.

Answer 17

you should do nothing.. it is always not a good idea not to get into the middle of all that.. its is up to her... if she wants to be stupid and accept it.. it will happen to her again and again... and if she leaves this guy.. it will happen with another... its just a vicious cycle.

Answer 18

I don't think there is a lot you can do.  It is illegal but only your friends wife can decide what she should do.  She feels so guilty that she prob thinks she deserved to be punished but it is never ok for a man to hit let alone hospitalise a woman.  Maybe you could tell her you disagree with what her husband has done and that you are there to talk to.  She would not have been unfaithful if she was happy at home and this is prob not the first time he has raised his hands to her.  

Answer 19

she probably feels like she deserves it b/c she was cheating, but if she decides not to press charges, there's pretty much nothing you can do.

Answer 20

Call the police on him. Let them get involved. He's a scum bag. No wonder she cheated on him. What kind of person are you that would let a friend get away with this c**p?!?! Call him out on it, call the cops.  

Answer 21

She probably felt guilty and that she deserved it. Be a friend to her and help her see that this sort of thing isn't ok.  

Answer 22

I think after this you should make him your ex-friend.

Answer 23

he should leave her, but he should not of beaten her

Answer 24

Domestic violence is horrendous and crushes the victims. She probably feels she deserved it and she probably sees no way out, especially if they live together or have children. You (or someone close to her) need to help her to understand that domestic violence is never acceptable and that she can (and should) get away from him. Being hospitalised by someone who's supposed to love you is appalling, I feel so awful for her.
