How to Arrest Husband Beating

We have all heard of wife beating, but have you heard of husband beating? Ask Selvam, he knows all about it.

We have all heard of wife beating, but have you heard of husband beating? Ask Selvam, he knows all about it. Last week, the 42-year-old casual labourer from Vyasarpadi in Chennai got drunk and then headed to the bus stop that was closest to his house. Once there, he threw two huge stones at a city transport bus. He then patiently waited for the police to come and arrest him.  Selvam told the police that he took this drastic action because he was unable to bear the daily beating from his wife. He preferred to be in jail than home and pleaded that he be remanded for at least 15 days. His wife was not violent in the early days of their marriage. After a quarrel, she would go to her maternal home. But later, she found that beating up her husband was a better way to express her displeasure. Sometimes, Selvam alleged, she bashed him up for no reason at all, and it was after one such session that he decided to get arrested.
