Hi,
This topic is now old and no more heard in this corner of world. But ask women groups and human rights group and they will insist that it is still a real problem. That may be, no one denies it. One thing I will like to ask these groups that is it always that wife gets beating or husband also gets beating. Is it not that children usually get beating from both gender? Some may argue that in previous case, as male members are stronger, so it is usually they who beat and not otherwise.
Let us see this whole issue from a different perspective. A person beats another, only when one is angry about something. Now same person does not beat a different set of people, even if one is angry about something or that another set. Because one is not possessive about that set and may expect retaliation. Let us take a scenario. A man, if angry, beats his wife or child with the view in mind that they belong to him and they have to follow or do what he is saying, else act of disobedience enrages him. Now look here, it is nothing to do with gender discrimination,else why the man will beat his child. If it was indeed a matter of gender discrimination, why the mother beats her child? She beats because the child has did something she forbidden and this enraged her. Sometimes wife also beat their husband and again the same psychology goes there.
So making this a gender discriminating issue, is gender biased itself. Beware groups of this pitfall.
So, should we encourage or discourage or make this a punishable act(it is already that, thanks to the group)? Well, let us have more look about it.
Sometimes it is argued that, even if husband is trying hard to make life of his family easy and wants wife and children to go his way, wife may have a different view of the problem and may choose a different line of action, which enrages husband enough to beat her. So, being an adult and understanding person, husband should give wife her chance to approach a problem. Here take my point, in whole world, not a single person, be a male or female will say something, and which is not its own view (read then biased). So, you are doing something for a person and you consider her own, then she starts doing things in her own way (it is her view and again biased). It makes you feel no more in control and enrages you, isn't it? See, this is not gender discrimination. It is act of power struggle (who is wearing the pant thinking).
So, such a person needs law enforcement as a last resort, but first an expert counsel. Hear me the group. That beating may sometimes meant to be beneficial (think about mothers beating their child), even though it should be discouraged.
