Jobless husband ruthlessly beats 7-month pregnant wife for not performing ‘wifely duties’

Most men in today’s society lack respect for the women in their lives; be it their wives or mothers. The lengths to which such men abuse their women is really shocking.

The lady talked of how her neighbor, Grace is being mistreated by her husband Peter, for no good reason. The husband would beat up the wife every night for not performing her ‘wifely duties’. What’s sad is that the wife is seven months pregnant but the husband does not seem to care.
