WIRE — Chair of the Russian State Duma Committee on Family Protection Nina Ostanina said that if a law against domestic violence is adopted in Russia, young people "will become more cautious about getting married" and could fall under "the ideology of rejecting parenthood," according to the Moskva news agency. "At present, eight out of ten marriages end in divorce. If all ten end in divorce, would there be any point in adopting such a law? Would young people still get married if this law is passed? Or would young men become afraid because any physical contact with their wife at home, based on sometimes impulsive statements by our women, could be interpreted as an attack on her physical or mental well-being?" Ostanina said. She was commenting on a bill prepared by Ksenia Goryacheva, a deputy from the New People party, which proposes introducing criminal liability for assaults committed against close relatives. The draft legislation was submitted to the Russian government for review last week.
