Explain how to deal with spousal abuse effectively. What recommendations would you make to someone who might be in an abusive situation?
What will be an ideal response?
- Both husbands and wives should be taught that physical violence is never an acceptable means of resolving conflict.
- If an incident of abuse takes place, call the police. Violence by one person against another is against the law, regardless of marital status.
- Remorse shown by a spouse may have no bearing on the possibility of future violence; feeling sorry after the act does not preclude initiating such an act again.
- If you are a victim of abuse, seek safe haven in a community shelter.
- Seek a restraining order if you feel you're in danger from an abusive partner.
