Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Before 2005 the word “influencer” probably had a different connotation than what it would have today.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Domestic Violence Victims and their Abusers Why do victims reach out to their abusers? Those in an abusive relationship may go through periods of calm between incidents of violence. Victims sometimes cope by focusing on their perpetrator's loving side and shutting out the abuse, maintaining contact to elicit affirmative behavior or financial support from the abuser. They may also rely on the abusive person to fulfill emotional needs. They may feel shame or a sense of failure. In one particular case, the courtship was short (less than a year during the pandemic) and against the advice of friends and family, the couple married. The wife stayed silent about the abuse, in part, due to religious reasons— she is deeply religious, and divorce is not acceptable in her religion. During the litigation for the order of protection, the husband complained that the wife had sexual intercourse with him during litigation … [Read more...] about What Courts Need To Understand About Victims Of Domestic Violence

Heard resumed her testimony after a 10-day break in the defamation trial in Fairfax, Va. Heard recounted the final months of her marriage to Depp, including a series of violent incidents in which she alleges that Depp would choke her, hit her and throw objects at her during drug-fueled rages. Heard filed for divorce in May 2016, after Depp allegedly threw a phone at her, hitting her in the face, during an argument at the couple's downtown L.A. apartment. "I knew I had to leave him. I knew I wouldn't survive it if I didn't," she testified. "I was so scared that it was going to end really badly for me... The violence was now normal and not the exception...

(Representational image) The Portuguese finally handed over possession of Bombay to the British in 1665. (Image: Vyacheslav Argenbergv via Wikimedia Commons 4.0) Dowry means any property or valuable security given by the bride’s family to the groom as a condition for the marriage. It was widespread in earlier times, with large amounts being given to the groom. Over 350 years ago, dowry was given in a deal between two countries with the brides’ family providing a city/town to the groom. That place was Bombay. The year was 1661. The two countries involved were Portugal and England. Bombay was then part of an archipelago that the Portuguese had taken control of in 1534. Lands in the region were thereafter leased to their friends at nominal rents. One of their key priorities was to spread Christianity. Trade was limited, and Bombay was an unremarkable place. The Portuguese didn’t help matters. Their ruthless desire to propagate Christianity alienated the local population - thereby … [Read more...] about Bombay: From Portugal to Britain as dowry
