A man has been convicted of violent offenses and threats against his former wife by the Ramla Magistrate's Court. The court's ruling detailed a severe assault where the man repeatedly struck his wife until she lost consciousness, broke her laptop, and threatened to kill her if police intervened. The incident stemmed from an argument about her speaking to him disrespectfully.
The day after the severe beating, the husband attempted to reconcile, suggesting they forget the attack and offering to take her out for breakfast. However, the wife later confided in her mother, who alerted her father, and he subsequently called the police. In court, the victim recounted the final moments of the assault, stating, "I received one last slap, then I fell."
The indictment included other violent incidents. Two weeks prior, after she prepared breakfast but failed to serve him a drink, he slapped her so hard she bled from the nose. In another instance, following accusations of infidelity, he threatened to beat her and break a stick over her, then proceeded to hit and slap her.
The complainant described a relationship filled with fear and violence, noting that reconciliation attempts led her to return home after she had already left and obtained a restraining order against him. The husband denied the charges, claiming his wife was the aggressor and sought revenge, and that her injuries were sustained elsewhere.
However, Judge Tal Aner dismissed the husband's defense, deeming the wife's testimony credible and supported by photographic evidence of her injuries, her parents' testimonies, and police findings. The judge characterized the relationship as a "sad and familiar chronicle of an abusive relationship" and stated the wife's testimony should be given "full evidentiary weight, without any hesitation."
