A viral video showing a woman slapping her husband in public, reportedly because he is unemployed, has sparked widespread outrage and renewed discussion on domestic violence against men. The incident, which took place in a busy marketplace, left bystanders stunned and has since spread rapidly across social media.
While the man has not filed a complaint or spoken publicly, the video has ignited debate around gender roles and the silent suffering of men facing abuse. Many online have pointed out the double standards in how society responds to domestic violence, especially when the victim is male.
Experts highlight that although women are more often victims of domestic abuse, men also face emotional and physical violence, often suffering in silence due to stigma. Psychologist Dr. Kavita Sharma noted that men are rarely encouraged to seek help or even acknowledge abuse.
Activists are calling for more inclusive laws, support systems, and awareness campaigns that recognize domestic violence as a gender-neutral issue. As the conversation continues, the video serves as a stark reminder that abuse, regardless of gender, should never be normalized or ignored.
