I am a woman and i honestly think its not fair. Even if the woman has custody of the child because women use this advantage for their own.\n\nBUT in other parts of the world you have no clue what women go through on a day to day basis. I am from India and in India there is nothing the law can do if a man rapes his wife. They can get a physical separation ( translated to retraining order) but a man will NOT be arrested if he rapes his wife. I read it in the newspaper today and my heart broke. As a woman my heart reaches out to all the women who suffer on a daily basis at the hands of their husbands/ boyfriends.\n\nThere is so much of unfairness in this world!!!

I love the blunt way you put it.\nYou call a spade a spade. \nThe Muslim law allows men to “marry” a woman and divorce her an hour later after they have screwed her. This is law is used all the times in Muslim countries to cover up prostitution. For example young girls from Iran, or India, “marry” rich Saudis for just one night.

Yes it is illegal but angry people with guns don't usually care about the law. I have been in your shoes and the man is in jail for now. In Vermont we have UMBRELLA which helps women like us find a safe place and other things that they need. They even went to court with me to keep him from trying to hurt me. Look in the yellow pages where you are for battered womens help or Legal Aid. Be careful and please stay safe. There is help out there please look into it. Thank you

True, America is one of the most crime-infested countries in the world. But justice is also more readily dispensed, and a person has the law to protect them.\nOnce there is a law in place, it brings security and peace of mind to the people, that at the very least they know that their rights have been breached if no justice is served.\n\nAs for the middle east.\nCrime is not statistic. It's not always reported. Many women might not live in fear, but when they are raped, when their virginity is at stake, when they have stepped out of the norms of what a woman in the Mid-East culture is typically expected to conform within - they fear for their family's reputation (and their family fears for their own, as well as their daughter), their family might push them not to report it for fear that the report would send wild rumours that she is a whore (if she was raped) and her marriage prospects would diminish.\nMy fiance lived in the middle east most of his life. My housemate is a mid-eastern guy who's born and raised there all his life.\nWhat they tell me, I back up with stuff I read on the news, as well as from friends who've had mid-east backgrounds.\n\nIt's a very cultural thing.\nWhile it's true that it's racist to label an arab as a racist (An American man can be just as prone to rape as the next Arab man. It doesn't depend on their nationality, but numerous factors including family background, childhood, culture, religion,etc.), it's also true that rape in the Middle East is widely unreported, little justice is dispensed.\nMy housemate tells me that little boys are raped so often that the police usually turns a blind eye to the rapes, especially when it involves a local arab (the richer the more powerful) and a foreigner.\nIn countries like the Gulf states and Saudi Arabia, they're more likely to push the blame to a foreigner or a black man (They are very degradatorily called "Habashi" in the colloquial lingo).\nThat isn't justice. Maids and foreign workers - it's not unknown for them to be sexually assaulted and abused by some arab men who see them as nothing but a paid prostitute who does the household chores for them, a paid slave.\nDid you know that in the Phillippines, before a maid is sent to an Arab country in the middle east, she is required to go through a mandatory 'culture' course which includes "Sexual abuse" and so on?\nMy nanny was from the Phillippines and she told me that she changed her mind when they were warned about the countless cases of maids who are sexually defiled and sent back in a disgrace as if they were the ones who 'seduced' the male, without any compensation. \nSome aren't even paid. Living conditions can range to the extremes - either work in luxury or work in filth. In U.A.E it's not uncommon for workers to have their pays held back for months, and the living conditions to be horrid.\nShe changed her mind, and came to work for us in my country. The Mid-East states are the only time maids go through those courses. Why?\nOF course, there must be a reason why. In the news today, it was even mentioned that Indonesia and Phillippines have been thinking to control and limit the number of maids being sent to the MId-East.\n\nI'm not saying that the Arabs have more potential to be rapists than the Americans.\nBut I'm saying that you cannot use statistics to prove your point because the ones used by the mid-east are wild estimates (or 'guesstimates'), with little accuracy or evidence to back up their claims.\n\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

It is one of those questions where books could be written.  That said, a case could be made that the British started it by going against their (and America’s) Common Law, by not applying all of those rights to those living in the Americas.  It was only a matter of time before there would be a response to such a policy.  Since the British Crown reject peaceful petitions to redress grievances, violence would follow.

Oh man, this one is tough!  I have told numerous women to get out of their homes, like right now, in situations like this.  I want to go and kick their heads in for what they do to their wives/girlfriends.  They need to go to jail and they need to be sentenced for each case of abuse and have the prison time set up so it doesn't run concurrent.  These guys need to be in there for a long time.  I would also like to have the prison population know what they are in for too.   I also like the idea of giving the wife free reign on the jerk before they send him away.  Abuse like that or raping your spouse needs some harsh penalties.  I hate them...they are bound to kill someone.  Every 3 minutes in America, a woman is killed by their partner.  I heard this on the news last week.  It is staggering and scary.  These women need to get out and seek help before it is too late.  Good question!

I know this was for the Ladies but I just want to say right on man. I swear its the truth. If you don't beat or degrade a woman somehow then they don't like you. Some of us who was raised to treat women with respect just get screwed.

I'm an American now living in the UK. I'm in complete agreement with the death penalty in murder and rape cases. I feel that if you take a life, your life is forfeited. Rape takes a life in a different way. Chances are a woman that's raped won't ever be normal again.

No never. There is a lot of fuss made if a man hits a woman but it seems to be acceptable if a woman hits a man. Physical violence is totally unacceptable whether it be a man or woman on the receiving end.

b/c people don't want to honor or respect wife beaters.

If a woman submits sexually to a man specifically in expectation of monetary rewards, then SHE is breaking the law, she's solicitating.\n\nThis is important: if you are breaking the law yourself, you are often denied redress in court.  If you broke the law by soliciting, you can't expect him to follow the uniform commercial code in his subsequent actions and monetary transactions with you.\n\nThe HINT of money from a rich man is not illegal in most states.

Its not legal in the United States. If a person lays a hand on you in any way shape form or fashion at a workplace in the US they can go to jail for assault and you can sue.

quite the opposite my friend...for it is uniquely American to have the right to say such things without fear of reprisal....try to do that in any other country and quite possibly you will pay for your moment of indiscression with your life......life free or die....~~

After a bit of snooping I was unable to find any news regarding increased violence or other discriminatory actions vs. women's groups in the United States. \n\nAccording to Amnesty International, discrimination against women still exists in 36 countries.  I'll include in my sources a link to a recent example of this in Iran.\n\nHope that helps,\nArmus

pull those reins in there and Slow down there ( me ). If a woman puts herself in a mans position when it comes to throwing a punch then she gets what she gets. Yes it is illegal to hit a woman first, but there is nothing that says you can't knock them into next year if they hit you first. You call the police only if you fell to keep her down after you hit her.
