A recent shocking news is that a woman was killed by her husband with a knife during the cooling-off period of divorce. Prosecutors said the man had been violent for a long time, and the incident had once again raised questions about the divorce cooling-off period.
Domestic violence, it's a heavy word, it represents both physical and mental harm. In the face of domestic violence, why do we still have a cooling-off period for divorce? Doesn't this give the abuser a respite?
The original intention of the divorce cooling-off period is to allow both husband and wife to think calmly and face the problems in the marriage rationally, and reduce the situation of divorce due to impulse. However, when domestic violence becomes the dominant factor in a marriage, this cooling-off period seems to become a joke. In the face of violence, what we need is not calm, but swift action and protection.
Imagine a woman who decides to divorce after suffering domestic violence, but also faces a so-called "cooling-off period". During this time, she may suffer more injuries and even lose her life. Is this "cooling-off period" a "period of action" for the perpetrator?
We cannot ignore the risks that may arise from the cooling-off period in divorce. According to reports, many ** occurred during the cooling-off period of divorce. Does this mean that we need to revisit the system?
Of course, divorce is not a simple matter, it involves many factors, such as property division, child support, etc. But when domestic violence becomes the dominant factor in a marriage, should these "cooling-off periods" be eliminated or shortened?
Relevant departments should pay more attention to the problem of domestic violence and provide timely and effective relief measures. For those victims of domestic violence who decide to divorce, they should go through the divorce procedures as soon as possible and be given the protection they deserve.
In addition, the public should also raise awareness and attention to domestic violence. When we find that someone around us is suffering from domestic violence, we should not stand idly by, but should call the police or provide assistance in time.
In short, domestic violence is a serious social problem, and it should not be covered up or ignored by any form of "cooling-off period". We should take more active measures to protect the rights and safety of victims.
For those who are experiencing domestic violence, we would like to say: Don't be afraid, you are not alone. There are a lot of people in the community who are willing to help you and provide you with assistance. Don't put up with unfair treatment out of fear. Stand up bravely and fight for the rights and dignity you deserve.
