My Rule on Domestic Violence: Never Hit Back, Even If I Strike First

A young woman has set a clear boundary on domestic violence. She insists she would never marry a man who lays a hand on his wife, even if she started the fight. She explains that no argument justifies a partner hitting her. If things ever turn violent, she says her husband should restrain her, call the police, or even ask for a divorce rather than retaliate physically. "Even if I hit you first, don’t hit me back," she says. "Pin me to the wall, leave the house or report me, but don’t touch me." This stance has sparked heated debate online about how couples should handle conflict.
