I wonder where "Let there be no compulsion in religion" fits in all this...
Sorry for being cynical, but I find it hard to believe that persons, who think it's alright according to their religion to 'correct' their spouse's behavior with corporal punishment, can think that any secular law can bypass religious ones.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
