NA delegates may soon designate mental abuse, including couples reading each other's messages or simply not communicating, as domestic violence.

 

At a National Assembly discussion on Tuesday regarding a draft update for the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control, delegate Le Minh Nam proposed to add certain behaviors that affect the mental health of family members, like checking each other's messages and comparing one's partner with other people, as cases of domestic violence.

 

Nam said mental abuse works gradually and insidiously, causing lifelong trauma. While there are actions that may stem from love, they can also cause harm, he added.
