Stop beating your wife as disciplinary measure – Lawyer advises men
An Ilorin-based legal practitioner, Mr Taiwo Abdullahi, has advised men to stop beating their wives as a form of discipline as the act promotes domestic violence.
Abdullahi, who advised in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Saturday, said that men must learn to tolerate their partners and stop battering them for every mistake they made.
“ Most husbands have turned their wives to punch bags. They beat them when any argument arises and cause injury to them.“ Most men lack maturity and cannot tolerate their partner’s mistakes for a second. They will rather resort to beating her to a coma.“Stop promoting domestic violence all in the name of a simple misunderstanding.“When you keep beating your wife amid your children, you are passing a wrong message to their brains.
They will also learn bad habits from you,” he said. The lawyer encouraged men to behave maturely, learn how to tolerate their partner’s shortcomings, and learn to forgive. ( NAN)
