Domestic Violence

[GravelyConcerned]

I write this as a concerned person who knows of someone's plight. I have assured them that I will do my best to equip them with the knowledge to make a decision

Husband is an EU national living in UK. She is over as his spouse . She has two 6 year old daughters born in Pakistan. She has a2 year old daughter born in England.

He beats her which seems to be common knowledge among the wider family . Both his and hers.

Her dad has died , mum lives in rural Pakistan so if today she chooses to leave her husband and is 'deported' as she fears.. She has no real security in taking 3 daughters back to Pakistan. She would not be in a position to maintain them, and would be a burden on her widowed mother. As such despite the violence she clings on ..

He beat her up so badly two months back that she ran down the streets to a family friend. He had been kicking her so badly his own toes were injured and he she was keeled over unable to stand.

The police have been over presumably after reports recieved but she pretends she has fallen down the stairs

She is scared to death to leave or tell the police. She has no future in Pakistan as a single mother of 3 daughters and she can't see any help here

I know of rules relating to domestic violence ,,, but this is a situation of real horrifying violence and the victim is terrified . She needs assurance before she flees the marriage,,,,

I don't know if there is anyone who can give advice

I don't know the lady personally but have come to know of her situation. I have promised to pass on all knowledge and information because I can't sleep tonight... She surely has to have some form
Of help from
Someone somewhere

Wanderer, domestic abuse is very common. Women are often treated like chattel, remember martial rape wasn't considered an offence in this Country till the late 90's.
