my maid was beaten

My maid(now she left) was physically abused and beaten by her husband badly and admitted in hospital few months back.he usually beats her it seems . This made me think a lot. I told her to not take the beating. Once he starts beating please move to ur mom's home nearby. Don't show up until his anger subsides. But please tell me permenant solution. It will be helpful for many people. According to me what ever it is no one should beat their wives.

 

The news which is pestering my heart came through my former neighbour in India. My maid expired by commiting suicide. She was beaten a lot and people went for panchayath. When things settled down,her husband went to his work. But she drank pois..n.this is what I heard. I feel for her. She is good at heart. At least if that fellow had not beaten her she would have been alive. She is too young . she was married earlier and that too her own mom's younger brother. Her daughter is left motherless . God is sometimes really not merciful. Merciful God was our school prayer though. But real world is not God living place .

 

In this case my maid(M)'s mom itself did not support her that much. She would ask her to adjust to all his beatings(fateful) and for her husband after hospitalization too she should work and bring money with out taking rest. She should provide the money in his hands. Her mom( she too was a maid in that area, I knew her) couldn't do anything but as per my M's words she has little soft corner for her brother( son in law).

 

Now i want just to know how to stop this kind of thing. This happened a while back so i need inputs on how i can help them. Or any other when they tell me their problem. Because had I helped her more than giving advice she could have been alive.
