i once asked someone why women are hardly ever believed that their husbands abuse them (the husband seems so “choshuv”,etc.)why would someone waste so much time running around from one rav to the next begging for a get if it wasn’t true???
one answer was: “one woman’s testimony is not considered aidus except by…”Another one said :”she doesn’t realize it’s not her husband,it’s the little brats(verbatim)”yet another one said:”just be accessible at all times”etc.etc.
my point is:GROWN WOMEN ARE DISMISSED ABOUT CLAIMS OF ABUSE…KAL V’CHOMER POOR LITTLE KIDS.
ironically:if someone accuses someone FALSELY of being abused,the rumors spread like wildfire!!
