He lives in my nieghbourhood with his wife. This couple had 2 or 3 children - i seem to forget the number. All their children were male.
Mr.X and his wife prefer to hire domestic help to do cooking/cleaning/washing etc.
Every time a maid is hired in their house, Mr.X rapes her. She then leaves. A new maid is hired. Mr.X rapes her. The cycle repeats itself.
When Mr.X's sons were old enough to get married, their mother insisted that they set up independent homes with their wives. None of Mr.X's children stay with him any longer.
His wife knew about his habit. Who knows, may be she has even beeen raped by him herself.
By insisting that her sons set up independent homes with their wives, Mr.X's wife has ensured that her daughters-in-law remain safe.

we cant judge her on that. if he raped the maids and she felt he was going to rape her daughters-in-law then it is entirely possible that he was raping HER as well. i know that constant sexual abuse is hard on a woman's rational mental processes. who knows what her reasons were?
she's one of those women who are unfortunate to be married off by their parents to a man who doesn't beleive in women's economic control in marriage... so basically she doesn't have a say in who he chooses to hire as domestic help
while i understand where you are coming from about the maid, i am quite interested on how the "comments" for this post turned out. both you and i have been talking about whether or not this lady could have stopped rapes.... SHE gets blamed for THE MAN'S actions. At the end of the day, it is not her who should be held responsible for her husband's actions. Mr. X is the rapist. HE is accountable for his crimes.
