I wonder if any of the anti divorce movement has the courage to face this woman and explain the foundations of their philosophy and that she is just colateral damage to their cause

@ray: I agree, these things will happen divorce or no divorce. However it should be pointed out that the husband's violence is not considered a valid reason for an annulment. So, this woman was stuck with this man forever and she knew it. This may have influenced her decision to stick with him.
