منذ نحو 6 سنوات، قرر “عادل نافع” الزواج من سيدة ثانية بخلاف “أم العيال”، وقع اختياره على “تهاني” التي حظيت بدرجة قبول كبيرة لدى الموظف بشركة مصر للبترول بالسويس، واستأجر لها شقة بمنطقة الطالبية غربي محافظة الجيزة، ليقسم أيام الأسبوع السبعة بين المنزلين.
سريعا دبت الخلافات بين الزوجين حديثي العهد، طالب “عادل” زوجته بالتخلي عن ابنتها من زوجها السابق، فقابلته بطلب تطليق زوجته “أم أطفاله الأربعة” وكأن الأمر مباراة ملاكمة يسعى طرفاها لحصار الطرف الآخر حتى توجيه الضربة القاتلة له.
Under Egyptian Personal Status law, although the father is considered to be the guardian of his children, the mother has the right to custody of both male and female children until they reach fifteen years of age.

In a short clip, the boy’s skinny body appears, his tears overflowing as he was severely beaten by a woman asking him in a loud voice to call his father, “Say, come, take me .. the spirit of living with him threw you like a dog.” It seems the threat was to pay more, or to see his son beaten.

On the International Day on gender violence, which was held last Monday, 25 November 2019, the Spanish HazteOir.org (be heard) media sent the message that “violence does not have gender”.

Researching Reform asked its members to describe what was missing in the Family Courts .. in just one word! Understandably, many found the task too difficult: it is far easier to write an essay on the subject. However, their readers’ responses are worth a peruse: If you feel you’d like to write an essay on Read more…
Japanese women are attacking men in increasing numbers, sometimes fatally.
Overall, Japan has seen a decrease in suicide in recent years. However, for men, there is a distinct increase.
France’s Ministry of Equality is considering legislation which punishes partners who so abuse their partner that they commit suicide. If other countries were to follow suit, men as well as women would start to get better legal protection from their abusive partner.
