What is the cause of
family violence? This occurs in families where there
is a lack of love and respect between husband and wife. The man paid bride price
and thinks that the wife belongs to him as his slave.
Family violence usually
starts with a violent man. He may come home drunk and blame his wife when there
is no food. She talks cross to him but he bashes her to punish her. There is no
money in the house.
Sometimes the wife is
to blame. She may not look after the family but prefers to play cards down the
street and spend money on home brew and cigarettes.
She comes home after
the husband and has done no washing and cooking. The children are dirty and
hungry with no food to eat. The husband is angry and bashes her.
At times the husband
comes home late or not at all as he has a girl friend that he visits and gives
part of his pay to her.
That is why there is no
money for the wife. She is desperately playing cards to win money for the
dinner at night. Then he blames her.
How can family violence
be stopped? It can only be stopped if both
husband and wife are determined to work together with no tricks with money.
There are always
arguments that can occur but these can be solved with patience and tolerance.
There should be no winners or losers in an argument but always WIN-WIN.
The married couple
should show their children how they may argue but always end with love and
peace. The father brings peace with a
Big Rooster Chicken and a large bottle of Coca Cola for the family.
