Family violence

Family violence is rampant. A newspaper reported that a twenty year old woman was killed by her husband for not bringing ten thousand pieces of bricks to her husband's house. This happened after three years of her marriage. There are many such instances of violence. Even the elite is not yielding to reason.

A long time back, the Honourable Justice Md. Ibrahim pointed out in a speech that with an expansion of education there would be more people amenable to reason. Why this did not happen is worth researching. During hartal we witness widespread violence. It is possible to demonstrate resentment without resorting to violence. It is surely, "in our hands."
