Hit Your Wife And Be Jailed, New Law To Protect Our Women

So happy for this law, its a form of improvement for protecting our women who are married, not to be used as punching bags. The new Domestic Violence Law in Lagos State, and it states that if you beat your wife, you will go to Jail. It is now an offence for any man to hit his wife. The Deputy governor of Lagos State, Hon Joke Orelope-Adefulire, said the Domestic Violence Law is made not only to protect women who are most times the target of violence in the home but also to safeguard the interest of men, children, servants, maids and everyone who may be a victim of domestic violence...

In case of man/woman abuse issues, it does not matter whether there's a valid contracted marriage between the victim and the perpetrator of the act as long as they are living together in a home setting. This law we help men stop the hitting and beating of their wife,i want to thank the lagos state government for this new law in the state.

Here's what happens when there's a case of domestic violence.  

1. Remove the abuser from the home pending when the abuse is corrected

2. Or remove the complainant from the residence and put in a protective home 

3. Provision of financial assistance by the state via the Office of the Public Defender/Legal Aid Council to victims of abuse who maybe financially unable to seek redress in court.

4. The court can issue warrant of arrest and remand order

Which this law can also be directed to other states as fast as possible, especially Edo State, a place that thinks , its an abomination to arrest your husband even when he is killing you gradually.
