Should every person married to an abusive violent spouse divorce that spouse? No.
Here is the logic that follows.
First as I do in debates is explain what I mean by things regardless of the opposing side claiming I didn't. It's a lack of reading comprehension and attentiveness as typical.
What do I mean by "should"?
What do I ever mean by that really?
"Should" is connected to the expected result logically following a cause.
Some examples:
I get splashed with water, I should be wet.
I touched a fire, I should be burned.
I run in front of a moving vehicle or object to get hit, I should be struck by such.
Anything else is an anomaly, illogical or perhaps supernatural.
What causes an effect should be the effect of that cause.
With that being said, what is the cause of a person not getting a divorce from an abusive spouse?
We can take a survey of 1,000 folks. A cause of not getting a divorce is a person not believing in divorce.
Another cause may be because of financial reasons.
Another is coercion.
Could be legal circumstances with children or personally, individually or something of legal sort.
Could be for religious reasons.
Could be for personal convictions of not giving up. Either for hope in repairing the marriage or spousal therapy/rehabilitation.
What else?
A person's cause to not divorce is that the person has taken position "it's unnecessary''. Why? There is cause for that too.
Simply separation is sufficient.
Another cause of course obviously is if the person becomes a widow or widower.
So let's bullet point these causes in itemization to organize easier for the opposing side to challenge.
Cause for no divorce can be :
- NO BELIEF IN DIVORCE
- FINANCIAL REASONS
- COERCION
- LEGAL CIRCUMSTANCES
- RELIGIOUS REASONS
- PERSONAL CONVICTIONS
- HOPE
- UNNECESSARY
- SEPARATION SUFFICES
- BECOMES/BECAME A WIDOW/WIDOWER
On the personal convictions, that can just branch out into several other causes from culture, family tradition, family values, personal values and family traditions.
Same way with the "unnecessary" bullet. A person could do a host of things to prevent divorce such as self defense or murder as a counter effect to the abusive spouse. Also the abusive spouses may have committed a crime themselves aside from domestic violence and has departed a place with the spouse to evade the authorities or apprehended by them. The abusive spouse may have taken route to be with another anyway.
The list can be built upon on and on and on.
The crux of the matter is, I believe the opposing side and whoever else whom had seen the title of this topic, may have just assumed that because there's no divorce it would mean that the abused can or will just have to remain with the abuser living in the same space and or close within proximity.
Not necessarily so.
This is like a rap battle where everything your opponent can use about you against you, you beat them to it.
You better lose yourself in the music, it's the moment , you own it.
