Suffering in silence
In Britain a 28 year old mum of 4 was murdered by her husband after years of domestic abuse. The couple were of Kuwaiti origin. The police told the court that the victim suffered serious domestic abuse in silence, believing it was not culturally right to speak to the police or medical professionals against her husband. Is this true of the Asian community? "Sonal", "Priya" and Aasiya tell Nihal how they plucked up the courage to walk away from their violent partners.
