Ma Thin Thin Myat said, “We have a child together after we got married. He started to ignore me when the child was 4 months old. And, he left us later. Then he came back when my son was 6months old. I accepted him when he promised me not to do it again. But, he always abuse me like everyday ever since then. So, I decide to get a divorce for my own safety.”

When PVA interviewed with the husband named Ko Soe Tint, he confessed that he committed domestic violence against his wife, and he promised PVA that he would build up a better family life in the future by abandoning the domestic violence against his wife once and for all, from now on.

PVA educated him the negative consequence of domestic violence in all aspects of both legal and social perspectives. The wife also agreed to give him another chance. He finally signed an agreement promising not to repeat it again.
