Domestic violence of any form should be abolished. If a relationship is not going well its better to call it quit. But just killing the sleeping husband is not the right thing to do. Its not an act of heroism. And that act is to be punished by law. After all when a wife dies an un-natural death its by default a "dowry" death in India. The converse is not true. Statistics in India shows more percentage of married man commit suicide that womman. Are all this due to domestic violence? Don't forget that its man who fought against the social evils of 'sati' and started 'widow-remarriage'. So the key to all this is to get respect one has to respect the other individual too. Just having some gender biased Domestic Violence laws will not do. One should fight for laws to protect everyone equally. Any dis-balance will cause dis-satisfaction and will be a cause of cold-war.
