Dear Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupada. Maharaj, my marriage was arranged by my Krsna conscious superiors. I experience frequent physical violence in this marriage for 2 years. Is it right for me to continue on like this?

Your aspiring servant,

YajnaseniDD

HpS - ASA --- Hare Krsna! AGTSP paoho. Of course, this is a frequent encounter and yet one question is who is being violent. I knew one person very intimately who was never physically violent with his wife during marriage, but she bit him with intention to do physical damage two or three times.

Of course, it maybe the exact opposite with your situation. Maybe the husband is biting the wife.

Eventually she filed for divorce because she required him to eat meat with the family etc and he told her in strong terms that he would never do it.

Talking with him many years later he felt that she was actually a very nice person, but neither of them knew how to adjust the social situation back in 1974. At that time if you were a vegetarian in here common, family society it meant that you were probably a Communist or a Homosexual also!

Knowing what he knows now, he feels pretty certain he could have adjusted things.

Looking in our asa-encyclopedia we found the best source are the Verses and Purports starting with SB 7.11.25. They are fanstastic.

Please read and discuss them (with your other real advisors), and please give us some more thoughts on the matter.
