We know it isn't. We think that abusive spouses/mates are disgusting human beings and should get the full force of the law. But this just goes to show that the current system is not fine or can never be improved upon. It allows scumbags to abuse women and walk away with it, but it punishes normal honest guys who were unlucky enough to get in a relationship with a nasty woman (disclaimer: not that many even, but bad apples exist)
