Psychological abuse

While surfing on the net, i found out that in the previous
years, some proposal is being proposed by The governmental
Women's Development Department. The propotion was made to
the Parliament. They propose that Malaysian men should be
put in jail when they psychologically assault their wife.

As before this, the Malaysian law only give protection to
women from physical violence, which the women's development
department think it is clearly not enough.

This proposal is made due to the statistics showing that about
90% out of the 800 women who called to the Women Aid Organizatin
for help last year reported being psychologically abused.
Of course, there are some who are physically assaulted as well.

However it is very hard to determine whether the woman is being
psychologically abused by the husband. In this case, we wil
start to wonder what is the level to define the words being
used is abusive. At the same time, how many times the abusive
words are to be repeated only we consider it as an offend?

Emotional damage is therefore very difficult to be proved.
At the same time, the issue of causation is important as well.
