You perhaps wanted to point out your finger on yet another barbaric Muslim country, but this is more general psychology issue.

After first beating where she ended up in hospital, guy was sentenced to 15 months in prison, but woman dropped charges
as he has 'shown remorse'... This is so common pattern that it is rarely even news worthy. Things like this are happening everywhere. (In US as well). What exactly is unbelievable here ??

Why are you posting this in govt/country context ?
