What would you advise to woman who has lost all hope in saving her Marriage. Intially it was demands and DV and later only violence. Both want to live together but the husband is violent not only towards the wife and kid but has hit his father and other relatives in the past. His highly educated family(PhD, software engineer, Goverment teacher) including his father suport him as they themslves beat their wifes. They call it khandani gussa and to cope with it. Intially she shocked and retuned to parents home. they took her back after promise of not raising hand on her. but same happened. She had to leave again and was blamed of running to parents home every now and then. Two years back they again started living together after 2.5 years of separation when it was promised that the husband had changed a lot. But he staretd his same behavior after two months. the husband was violent towards his own kid also. But this time she did not return home and accepted violence just to give a family to her kid. She stayed there and did everything to build a trust including leaving her job. The kid was also mentally tortured. after 1.5 years he made her join a job in another city and kept the kid with himself as he feared that if she had the kid also she might leave him again. She begged him and his family members to let the kid stay with her keeping in view his drinking habit and violent nature but no one heard. She decided to leave her job but was also not allowed. After about 20 days she lost her patience and ran away with her kid and now filed for MCD. After filing the MCD she again felt that she does not want a divorce. She thinks that marraige becomes blood relation once a child is born...and since no other relation can be broken marriage can also not be broken. Now she cannot live with him because of fear and does not want a divorce...is there any way he can be convinced not to be violent towards his wife and child and save the marriage
