If he doesn't like her attitude he can divorce her, she probably will have a better attitude with some other guy with better future prospects, i mean a better income.

What about to see the other side of the story? Maybe women should be more carefully and reconsider their criteria how they choose their male partners.
There is no shortage of men of any age here in Japan who will never harm a woman and who are lonely and looking for a nice female friend.

With news like this I am surprised any woman wants to marry a man.

Yes. Isn't it great? Other countries have so many murders daily, that this would never make national news. It's nice that Japan is such a safe country that there isn't so much other more terrible news that it would displace this.

Are you suggesting that there may be situations by which the beating was justified?

Well, how was her behavior before the beating? I'm not one to judge, just want to know all of the facts.

Wow I see the husband and wife has a lot of roommates!! Everyone seems to know what happened. Its two sides to a story the real story hasn't been told!!

he probably couldn’t get it up, even though he’s such a BIG MAN for beating on his wife.
where do they manufacture losers like this anyway? They seem to be in an abundance

Domestic violence is unfortunately a little talked about social issue in japan.

That this is national news is a testament to the good character of the Japanese people.

With the lack of serious crime, yes. The papers have to report something.
Fighto!
"Man"? Wrong. He is nothing but no-hoper street trash.
I hope karma gets this piece of scum, and he loses everything. Good on the woman for having the bravery to call the police on him.

"Local" news yes. Hardly "National" news.

Is this really national news?
