No one deserves to be treated like trash, especially not by the person you claim to love. I will be pleased to share my opinion on this lovely topic which is based on violence
Intimate partner violence: Intimidation, threats, or verbal abuse. Expand on what you know or how you deal with this matter considering almost one-in-every-four homes appears to suffer silently.
Violence does not only comes in beating, there are so many ways or forms in which violence occurs, it can be Slapping, Strangling,Name calling, Preventing your spouse to see friends and family, Cheating, Do not value the opinion of your partner, Manipulating the children, insecurities, and so on.
Women undergo 99% of violence in the world today, the level at which violence occurs in this generation is uncalled for, I will love to highlight some possible causes of violence in marriage
Let me share an experience with us, a woman was living in my compound, and each day we always hear her scream, and the man gives hits her at any slight opportunity, one day my mother called the husband and asked him why he always beat his wife, the man replies shocked everyone.
The man said the compatibility in the marriage is zero, he married her out of pity because the family has no financial status, so they needed help and that was why he married her, since then the man has been frustrating the woman in all aspects. The woman has no value in the marriage, her opinion never counts in the marriage, this type of violence is caused by family background because the family of the lady is not financially buoyant, so this leads to violence in her marriage.
Another possible cause of intimate partner violence is the unemployment status of women, some women depend solely on their husbands, with no work and no skills, in this type of marriage the wife suffers, it is rampant in Nigeria because most men want their wives to be supportive not just a figurehead, so most time this triggered violence in marriage.
Violence has effects on partners so much, it may lead to death because the woman you are pinching every day like a punching bag can give up if she doesn't have the strength for it anymore.
Now suicide is rampant too, it can lead to taking one life due to trauma, and it leads to emotional and psychological trauma
It belittles the woman in the husband's house, some men will be beating their wives and call the children to be looking at them, this is not right this lead to depression and depression can cause damage to the body by having a series of illness.
HOW CAN WE STOP INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
You married a wife, not a slave, the abusers should be thoroughly punished by law
Let our women speak out, so they can be helped, some women are still denied it and they are suffering in their marriages, you can only help those who help themselves.
Let's always check on them if we suspect and always talk to them from time to time.
The overall solution is to leave an abusive relationship or marriage and value your life, marriage is not do or die, you can find a loving person if you are still alive.
Thank you all and this is my entry for the week #144 episode of #Loh thanks to the moderator @joanstewart and the admin for bringing up a suitable topic like this.
