🕊️ Conflict & resolution · #32
I am a husband and my wife often hits and insults me. Is there help for men?
Yes — domestic violence can happen to anyone, and men are also entitled to protection and help.
The Domestic Violence Act 1994 protects all victims regardless of gender, including through protection orders. Islam forbids injustice by any party, and a husband need not be ashamed to seek help. Steps: ensure your safety, keep evidence (photos, medical reports, messages), make a police report, and contact Talian Kasih 15999. Avoid retaliating with force, as it can harm you legally. Counselling at the religious affairs office or the Syariah Court can help resolve the marriage or end it fairly. See Counselling.
