sorry this is out of context, once my aunty told her hubby who wouldnt listen to her that she is going to ask her kids,when they grow up, to beat him up and take revenge for her sufferings.
You know, it's quite interesting, but this actually did happen back in my village! There was this loser guy who was always beating his wife up, or abusing her. When their sons became of age, they kept warning him not to do it, or he will regret the consequences. He didn't listen, and they locked him up in a room, and beat him!! That was a few years back.
Of course in this case, the lady didn't request her sons to intervene.
