The scene of Korean husband beating Vietnamese wife ruthlessly infuriates

From Jeolla South Hospital, the girl LG (born 1989, originally from Ninh Thuan Province) is still sho‌cked at what happened after the Korean husband’s brutal beating. The young wife has just arrived in with her husband since June 16 and was brutally beaten twice.

"First time but this time I endured heavy too should tell the police," she told Zing.vn .

“I have a broken rib and a broken finger. At first he told me to get something that I didn’t understand. I went to get it wrong, he started slapping my ears and beating me repeatedly ”.

“After that, slowly beating and dragging this and talking about it then beating. The story in the clip is a tiny part so everyone thought that because I didn’t listen, I was beaten ”, Mrs. G. shared.

“The reality is not so. hit me in the dining room for an hour. ”

Police in Yeongam, Jeolla Province, decided to detain 8 days for her husband after the clip of a suspect beating his wife was released online. Officials said the victim had to be hospitalized for 4 weeks to treat rib fractures and serious injuries.

The case report shows suspects punching, kicking and pounding a bottle of soju on his wife.

The incident happened right in front of the couple’s 2-year-old child. In the video spread on the Korean social network, the child constantly cried out for his mother, then fled the room.

Each husband was forced to give up his pregnancy

Mrs. G. said she had been acquainted since December 2014 when both were working as workers in a shipyard. The husband was then divorcing his ex-wife (Korean). When he introduced him to his family, both his brother and his mother did not tell her but hid her.For a while, she found him hot tempered and brutal, so he wanted to break up many times. She used to find a way to relocate and shelter, but he still sought and threatened her.

“He asked the locksmith to come to the house to open the door and then hit and threaten me. So from that point on, I accepted. After that, when I was pregnant, I told him he told me to leave. I don’t mind, so I left for Vietnam and raised it without him, ”G. said.

In 2016, when she was elected 4 months, she decided to return to Vietnam and terminate contact with him. "I haven’t contacted him for a year."

When Mrs. G. gave birth, the husband contacted and said that she was divorced. “He said that every day he ate rice alone and said it sadly, so I felt guilty. He also promised not to drink, not to beat me, so I believed ".

By March, two people had just completed the marriage paperwork. On June 16, she and her son flew to Korea to live officially with her husband.

"But how many days has passed but this happened," the girl said. "My mother cried for me so much for me."

“My husband used to practice boxing so he hit me like a sandbag. Every time he hits me, I will bear the reaction, so I will not be completely killed. ”

Why not tell the police?

According to Ms. G, her friends have been beaten so many times before but very few people report to the police because of poor foreign language, partly because of concern for police who only target Korean people.

"My cousin friends let me go through the story ... I shot the beating scene so everything was so big," the girl said. She shared that she did not want to be embarrassed because she did not want her mother and relatives to be sad at home.Mrs. G. said that trying to finish the treatment would come to the isolation center outside and wait for the papers to be finished.

"If my mother stays, I will go to work to raise my children, send them to school and treat them," the girl said of her two-year-old child suffering from depression.

"Not only this case, the Korean police are very serious about domestic violence cases. They always said that no serious problems when receiving the declaration ", Ms Le Thi Anh Thu, Director of the Vietnam Cultural Center in Korea, told Zing.vn .

"Luckily the victim turned the clip," she said.

In October 2018, an argument broke out in the Korean public about how police responded to reports of domestic violence. A man stabbed his ex-wife to death after a four-year divorce, and their three daughters initiated an online petition requesting punishment for their father.

Many women’s rights groups say that maternal death can be prevented if the Korean government outperforms domestic violence. According to a report by the on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), nearly 45% of the 16,868 "family protection" cases in South Korea in 2015 did not lead to treatment. Criminal.

"Family protection" is domestic violence cases with state intervention, with handling measures from educating vio‌lent people to suspending suspects.

Korea Herald cited police figures saying that of the more than 16,000 cases of domestic violence reported in 2017, police only arrested suspects in 1% of those cases. In addition, 35% of abusers escape criminal prosecution, and only participate in educational programs.

Women’s rights activists in South Korea are calling for amendments to the Special Cases Act regarding Punishment for Domestic Violence. Article 1 of the Act states that its main purpose is "maintaining and restoring families", and is often understood that divorce is only the last resort to address domestic violence cases.

Critics say Article 1 often forces victims to "forgive" and "reconcile" with their abusers instead of severing their ties with them.

"The Commission is concerned that the mediation process is mandatory even when the divorce is caused by domestic violence, and the ideology of protecting the family integrity of legal rights and custody of the father violence ", the UN committee said in a report in March 2018.

The committee urged the Korean government to prohibit the use of reconciliation with domestic violence cases, preventing delays in prosecuting "family protection" cases, ensuring that the abuser must be punished. treatment.

In addition, female victims in domestic violence cases, especially se‌ּxual violence, often face criticism and humiliation from families.
