Yes, I got this inspiration from my cousin’s action. She is pretty, educated, employed in an MNC and married to a emotionally insecure, employed in a small private firm husband earning less than his wife To take out his frustrations it was always I will go away I will leave you for ever and then at the height of his frustration even used to hit her.
Naturally everyone in our family was disturbed. There was no way out seemingly as the parents were of the opinion that once married it is a life long commitment.We first decided to change the attitude of the parents, at first it was like talking to a wall but slowly they came to understand the fact that their daughter’s welfare came first, peoples’s opinion came nowhere in the picture They promised to support her the next time she had to undergo any physical or mental trauma.
This bought an unbelievable change in the attitude of my cousin, the very next time her husband hit her on a very trivial issue, she just packed her bags and shifted to her parents place .
This action caught her husband totally unaware, now he was absolutely shattered After a long, drawn out process of promises of mending ways, she finally relented to go back.
We were all amazed as to how a simple moral support or even a thought that you are capable enough to manage things could change the misery into happiness. Now both of them are adjusting to this new shift in their roles amicably.
Domestic violence is a major issue and just the fact that the family of the girl refused to even listen to her at first and their reluctance to take her in says a lot...
Not every husband is as repenting as your brother-in-law and majority of them just go back to their old ways after the wife comes back in...
I certainly think we need stronger laws to protect women from domestic abuse and the stigma regarding the issue certainly has to go...
Counciling and reconciliation are great, but preventive measures and intervention should certainly step in before the situation leads to an actual incident of the husbands daring to hit their wives.
certainly there is a need for stringent laws to tackle with the problem of domestic violence, but how many of our(female)friends and cousins will not abuse the laws...once a law is made it become a tool in the hands of public, chances are thereby to abuse it, just as article 498A of IPC is abused.

There’s no harm in acting thus, if your spouse is a real bully. Yeah, one should definitely pay back in the same coin.
