A woman who suspected that her boyfriend was cheating on her went on the extreme and set her man's private part on fire. The woman even managed to take a video and upload it online.
The video of the incident was uploaded on YouTube on Aug. 17 by a user named Kara Minik. In the video, a dark-skinned, well-built man sleeps in his underwear. He is slightly covered by a blanket.
The woman sits on the bed and takes off the blanket. She pours liquid on the man's underwear then she lights the undergarment on fire. The man wakes up screaming and the woman starts swearing telling the man that he deserved it for cheating on her.
A YouTube user commented on the video saying that what the woman did was wrong. The user said that even if the cheating allegation is true, violence in a relationship is never right for all genders.
While violence against women has been treated as a serious matter by the society, violence against men has rarely been given attention.
According to the United Kingdom Office for National Statistics, 800,000 men suffered from domestic violence from 2011 to 2012. Many cases went unreported because men were ashamed to admit that they were physically abused, The Telegraph reported.
Domestic voilence often starts with other forms of domestic abuse which happens when a person seeks to dominate the relationship and control the behavior of his or her partner. Low self-esteem, extreme jealousy, difficulties in regulating anger, and inferiority are common causes of domestic violence.
Common examples of domestic abuse include verbal threats and humiliation, physical violence, and destruction of property, according to Mayo Clinic.
