Child Marriage
Gypsy wedding stalled as child bride protests
By Alison Mutler
The Associated Press
“SIBIU, Romania — It was billed as the Gypsy wedding of the year. But yesterday’s ceremony, launching a three-day party, got off to a bad start: The 12-year-old “princess bride” — daughter of a self-proclaimed king — stormed out of the church in protest in front of 400 guests.” Read more…
Marital Rape
From Wikipedia: “Marital rape, also known as spousal rape, is non-consensual sex in which the perpetrator is the victim’s spouse. As such, it as a form of partner rape, of domestic violence, and of sexual abuse. Once widely condoned or ignored by law, spousal rape is now repudiated by international conventions and increasingly criminalized. Still, in many countries, spousal rape either remains legal, or is illegal but widely tolerated and accepted as a husband’s prerogative.” Read more…
Marlborina exactly knows how to deal with attempted rape. Whether you are a man, woman or somewhere in the middle, it’s good to be prepared. If you ever face a similar situation, this is what experience has taught me to to do:
If you can’t yank yourself out of a rapist’s grasp, use any self-defense training you have to neutralize attacks. Yell “fire” or “fight,” but never explicitly call for help. I have found that people are more likely dismiss calls for help as, “kids being obnoxious,” while fights and fires seem to be virtual crowd magnets. Blow a whistle or use defensive spray if you have it. If you have a firearm, stun gun or knife, aim for the thigh, as not all states have self-defense protection laws. Call the police as soon as it is safe to do so.
If you do not have self-defense training, a whistle or weapons, you have two choices. Either submit to the assault and call the cops after the attack, or fight dirty. If you choose to fight dirty, be ready to accept the consequences. Generally, rapists are stronger and more experienced at fighting than their victims, so accept the fact the assailant might stab, punch, otherwise hurt, or even kill you. Once you accept that you will be hurt, don’t be afraid of any injuries you might receive, and if you can, pretend that you do not notice the harm inflicted on you.
Use anything and everything around you as a weapon, including your purse, clothes, dirt, bottles, pens and keys. Bite until you tear, poke the eyes with the intention to gouge, punch the stomach or strike the face while aiming at the nose. There is no faster way to scare the hell out of an attacker than making him think you are crazier, more vicious and pain tolerant. More often than not, the rapist will run away before the police arrives. Be sure to contact the police as in the other examples. If you injure or kill the assailant, say nothing about your actions until you get an attorney involved, but be very specific about what was done to you.
