Domestic dispute during lockdown
Not everyone is actually safe in their own homes. I recently learnt of a distant family member in a difficult situation due to the lockdown. She is married to a man who has a terrible temper, and it has become extremely difficult to spend 24 hours locked indoors with him. Earlier, she would at least be comfortable while he was at work. Instead of assisting her with housework and the children, he has become more arrogant and demanding. The wife is in now constantly under pressure to attend to him, more out of dread than devotion. Those of us who are not in a similar situation are indeed fortunate. The thought of how many more women could be suffering silently from domestic disputes worries me; who is there to help them during these times?
