How much is fine in Vietnam for a husband who beats and throws his wife out of the house? Is there criminal prosecution in Vietnam for a husband who beats and throws his wife out of the house?
Hello, I have this problem that needs to be answered. My husband and I have an unhappy married life. Normally there's just arguing. But on July 23, my husband was drunk and argued with me. He beat me and threw me out of the house. My limbs were scratched and bruised because he beat me amd at that time my son was not home so he couldn't stop him. At around 8pm, my son came home and saw me sitting in front of house. I told him the story, so my son took me to my parents' house. Let me ask, what should I do if my husband beats me and throws me out of house?
Please advise. Thankyou.
