Indian wives ranked third in world for beating up their husbands

October 20, 2016

New Delhi, Oct 20: Most people associate domestic violence with men beating women. However, a new study proves that this is not always the case.

wifebeatThe statistic revealed by the United Nations Crime Statistics stated that Indian wives ranked third for beating up their husbands.

India is led by the United Kingdom and Egypt that are in second and first place respectively. This study is backed by the Egyptian Family Court whose data stated that 66 percent of husbands who are victims of domestic violence apply for divorce in the court.

Common knowledge teaches us that the victims of such cases are more often than not women, with the perpetrator being men. On the flipside, we also forget that violence can happen regardless of gender.

That being said, it is imperative more than ever that both genders move towards a better understanding of each other. This statement was one of the takeaways from UN Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson's speech when she asked the world to take a step forward and build a movement towards gender equality.

The BJP leader claimed that she visited the temple on Thursday evening but the temple officials confirmed that she visited the temple on Friday at 7 am. It is her routine every year to visit the temple on the last Friday of Ashada Masa.
