recently i have been receiving a lot of calls from friends asking legal advice and/or recourse for their friends or relatives suffering at the hands of their husbands ( a domestic violence victim ) / abandoned by their husbands whilst they are pregnant / other miscellaneous cases related to it.

since i’m not a practising lawyer what more a family dispute lawyer or even took the elective courses for it; the best i could help is refer them to centres or materials that could assist them to find the proper recourse to be taken. Ergo, i’m putting it here for the benefit of those of you interested:
