Well laws can be applied in countries like India and Nepal..only when the people have the guts to say "I am a victim" and "He/she is the culprit" it'll work.... Guts can be there..when there's empowerment or equality between the sexxxes.... Equality will be there when there's respect for each other values or individualism.. For now more than these laws, in Nepal, women need to be empowered..get an education, a good equal paying job like men so they don't have to bow down for anything...and parents need to support them like their sons... Women also need to have a good number of friends of both sexxxes men and women. So she can "talk" and relate to other people...If a man knows that his woman knows a lot of people that she can talk to and including his friends, he will think twice before even opening his mouth and vice versa…. even if not genuinely, he will be forced to respect women with peer or social pressure... But the basic thing is if you really love each other. you’ll never do something stupid like that..please avoid violence at all cost.. (p.s. I just beat the shetttt out of my bf cuz he was soo drunk ...thankfully he was sooo drunk..that he never found out that it was me who made him black and blue all over..) Alright folks..so much for free consulting..hahhahhaha
