Your stupidity is disgusting Michael. Yes there are people who ask for it, if you don't know what is going on out there in our so called families just shut up.

Mr Grech, it's sickening to read comments such as yours! How can anyone judge a person who was suffering from moral abuse in it's worse form? A person is mocked when trying to take one's own life... How much lower can a human become? The husband could have been armed with whatever weapon he wanted, but rest assured that the weapon he chose, moral abuse at a time when a person as at his or her lowest causes as much harm, if not more.

Based on which law? if he had to become the accused it would make for a very dangerous precedent where violent criminals could get away with attempted murder (or worse) on the clause of provocation.

Not really Dorielle....He was shrewed enough to use moral violence instead of a physical one!!!!......And she got the brunt of the law against her.

Moral violence is usually the par-exellance weapon of choice used by females to subdue the physically stronger males........There is no law against such torment........This could bring despair on the victims of this moral violence which leave them no choice but to pick the other weapon.....The physical one!!!

Even our two main political parties have their choice of weapons against society.......The Socialist use the physical and the Nationalist party use the moral............

@Richard
"The Socialist use the physical" really?Give examples after Alfred Sant's reign and you have an argument.I can give example of Nationalists using physical during the last general election but I do not generalize and say all right wingers are violent people.

"A case of he asked for it, I'd say. Some just DO."

This argument is incorrect but often raised, usually by rapists and domestic abusers. Would you stand by your comment if it was a man making this argument and not a woman?

i guess you'll agree then if a husband stabs his wife if she provokes him right?

Poor woman? She allegedly took a knife to someone. Physical violence is very illegal, moral violence isn't. If anything you should quesiton the law, both individuals seem to have done reprehensible things, but apparently only the wife committed a crime.

Actually moral or psychological violance is illegal and what the defence are pushing at is that due to said violanxe she was not in the right frame of mind and thus cannot be held liable. if this is proven and i guess they already are getting seperated she can take him for everything he s got
