National Cathedral Board of Trustees Member and Executive Director of Salt and Light Ministries, Rev. Dr. Joyce Aryee, has asserted that no woman should condone domestic abuse.

She believes the act is unacceptable and that woman doesn’t deserves to go through such pain and humiliation.

Speaking to Eunice Tornyi on e.TV Ghana’s African Women’s Voices, Rev. Dr. Joyce Aryee, said “First and foremost you should report this to your parents and if it gets too violent report it to the police because there has to be some restraint if you’re being beaten because no woman should accept domestic violence”.

The woman of God further noted, if the marriage is dealt with and later the woman goes home after counseling, the man also needs to be helped to overcome the anger problem that makes him violent.

“So it’s a good thing her case became such a major issue and that it was located even in the church. So I think God wants us to deal with it and that’s why he brought it out because if he didn’t it wouldn’t have become a church matter and I don’t think we should accept it” she empty
