Complained of the unbearable domestic violence

I was just coming from the market at around 6:25 pm. I heard woman’s voice crying as if there was funeral. I stopped to listen carefully. I wondered myself if that was funeral but I did not hear anything about the death. I stepped on closer to the house. I then heard the husband shouting outside the house. “Don’t play with me because I shall one day kill you and escape myself. If you want to leave for your parent’ home you can, and I am going to marry another wife” said the angry man.  

 

The wife was inside the house while crying as well saying she was going to die because of the family affairs. I was very sympathetic with the victimized woman. I had to find out the following morning to know what was the cause that the woman was severe beaten. It was later noted that the woman did not prepare nsima (food) in time and that the man was angry with that.
