I beg to differ, the law is many shades of gray. It's totalitarianism that is black and white with zero tolerance. Not for me, no thank you.
So, just to get this straight.. you`re saying here there are instances in which smacking one`s wife upside the head might be appropriate.
If my daughter`s husband hit her, there`d be no need for cops or reports (aside from the missing persons variety). And I am dead-on serious about that. Any “man” who abuses his wife is not a man at all.
