EU Courts: Wife Beating Legal in Cases of Adultery

Back in 2015, the victim was lured into a hostage situation by her former lover on the premise he wanted to reconcile their affair. But when she was in his clutches, he then called her ex-husband to confront her.
The pair then beat up the woman, using a studded hammer to inflict blows.

Both men received a suspended sentence last week and it’s now emerged an appeal judge said this when considering the initial verdict:

“A woman’s adultery is a very serious attack on the honor and dignity of a man. Societies exist where an adulterous woman is stoned to death.
In the Bible, we can read that the adulterous woman should be punished by death. Not long ago the criminal law (Penal Code of 1886, article 372º) punished, with little more than a symbolic penalty, the man who, on finding his adulterous wife, killed her.”

There are those who say divorce isn't a big deal. Yet, more than drug addiction, rape or any other social ill, divorce destroys families in a literal sense.
