Domestic violence is a matter of grave concern that needs to be handled with strict law. Every day we are alarmed to hear the gruesome deeds of torture and physical abuse by the husbands on their wives. The recent story is that of Rumana. The assaulters remain frivolous about their inhuman behaviour just to satiate their perverse frustrations on thousands of unaccountable reasons or simply to show that they are IN CONTROL. Most importantly, they feel some form of satisfaction that they can get away with anything as the law enforcers can never touch them. It is indeed extremely shameful for the government and for us as well that we let these criminals go unpunished. I would urge the government to punish Rumana's husband before another Rumana falls prey to another assaulter.
