In a statement that has sent shockwaves across social media and ignited a firestorm of debate, a South African woman, Cherre Kambatta, has publicly asserted that there is “nothing wrong with husbands abusing their wives.”

Her comments, made on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, in response to a Nigerian woman’s distressing Facebook post detailing an ongoing domestic abuse situation, have been met with widespread condemnation.

Kambatta’s justification for this alarming view? A woman who she believes lacked proper “home training” from her father should expect and accept such “discipline” from her husband, a practice she claims still occurs in her own marriage.

This perspective raises deeply troubling questions about societal attitudes towards domestic violence and the perceived roles of men and women in relationships.
