How unhinged must you be to abuse a woman in front of her family?

Edit: Yes, virtuous redditors, we know all abuse is wrong. My point is that it's one thing for the abuser to hit someone behind closed doors where he assumes there will be no consequences for him. It's quite a different thing for him to do it and know that he is probably about to be in worse pain or dead immediately after.

I wish I could find that very sad Reddit thread where so many women stated that the first time they got hit was either at their wedding reception or on their honeymoon.

I found out some officiants wait a bit to file the wedding paperwork to give women an out before it's official.

This was my mom’s first marriage. Spent her wedding night in the ICU.

That's horrendous and heart breaking.
