The Idea Of Vengeance: Why Women Stay In Abusive Relationship?

Do we not believe in a fair judgment any more?

For her, this manslaughter seemed to be the perfect ending for her husband. He wouldn’t have got salvation otherwise.

And now you might wonder why women prefer to stay with abusive men.

It’s simple, it is much easier to predict the probability of a hit than to predict the thoughts of a man who has two books on his desk with a note — to be read by Thursday; one titled, Why men comprehend situations better than women?, and the other titled Worshipping the Greek goddess.

So, the point being made  — she took the task of sanctifying her husband of his sins in her own hands and poisoned him.
