[...] Similarly, police are yet to crack child missing cases in Ernakulam (11) and Thiruvananthapuram (seven) districts. K V Manoj Kumar, chairman of the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said the incidents of missing children are a matter of serious concern. "We have held a meeting with state police to discuss the issue in detail and to check the status of the investigation in child missing cases. Though most of the children have been traced, the police are yet to find some cases. Commission wants to find all children that have gone missing. Police should act the way they did in investigating the kidnapping of a girl from Oyoor in Kollam," he said.

Evidence (2019-10-16): It was a sight that could have melted the hardest of hearts.

Evidence (2015-04-15): Chapter (Un)Holy Connections? Understanding Woman Abuse in Hinduism [...] Violence against Hindu women is often traced to misogynist religious directives that began with the ancient law-giver Manu. However, scholars and lay people have given most weight to the scriptural prescriptions of woman abuse in Hinduism while virtually ignoring the positive directions for respecting women. Although Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world, it is more a way of life than a formal scripture-based religion. The fundamental features of Hindu cultures, collective identity, personal humility, familial authority, insider/outsider distinction, dichotomous gender roles, extended family, and belief in karma, contribute in complex ways to violence against women in the family. In addition, Hindu masculinity, which has been reconstructed as aggressive superiority in response to the emasculation of men in colonial India, is most readily expressed along gender lines and dominance over women. Nonetheless, Hindu mythology is replete with positive male role models that may be utilized to encourage Hindu men to move toward caring and honorable masculinities. [...] Dasgupta, S. (2015).

If she doesn’t listen, you should involve a third party that she will listen to. Also, consider asking her to worship with you, take a marriage course with you, and a course on developing good character. She should also try an anger management course. When she is actually in the midst of being violent, you should defend yourself or leave the room. Lock yourself in a room if necessary.
