Throw the book at home aid tormentors

It was difficult to hold back tears when I was watching the shocking story of Aduri on television. Special measures should be taken to stop this type of crime. In most of the cases, the accused housewife is arrested and sent to court. The learned court gives punishment after trial. In the mean time, people forget the incident. Some people think that new law should be enacted to give exemplary punishment to the perpetrator within a short specified time. This will stop domestic violence to some degree. The media can play a significant role in building social awareness against domestic violence.
