Her blood stained the walls, floor, furniture, bedding and fridge. Large chunks of her long, dark hair were found throughout the home.
Significant and obvious injuries covered Kaur’s face, neck and hands.
Kaur had defensive wounds on her hands and arms from fighting for her life.
Singh caused so many injuries to his wife’s small frame they took two pages of the agreed statement of facts to list.
Two fucking pages.

We basically do nothing to stop domestic violence and femicide in Canada. This is not an isolated incident sadly. In my province there have been 45 femicides, related to intimate partner violence in the last year alone. More often than not, women’s safety concerns are ignored even when they tell police they fear for their lives. The victims are left responsible for their own safety. Femicide is both predictable and preventable, if you know what to look for (domestic violence, coercive control, stalking, threats, previous history of choking or strangulation etc…). Know the signs (BWSS is a great resource to learn more on this topic, they are on social media).
How many women need to die before our institutions wake the f*ck up? Domestic violence is not a ‘private matter’ it is a public safety issue.

How simply awful. This poor woman. I can’t even imagine how horrible that must have been.
I really have to wonder how many women who are part of the Indian diaspora are caught up in situations just like this one. It’s a pretty vulnerable situation- in many cases they are moving abroad to meet their husbands for the very first time, live with his family or him alone, which is a very tough transition to make. If he’s not a decent guy, then you’re in a bad or even incredibly dangerous situation.
People from India *do not* get divorced. This isn’t just broadly speaking or generalizing, it’s beyond being seen as taboo or a moral failure, it simply isn’t an option no matter the circumstances. Marriage in Dharmic religions is an irrevocable contract and in India, your family, your friends, your job, the entire society will essentially forbid divorce or separation from happening. So unlike other cultures with arranged marriages, which allow divorce in the case of abuse, there is no safe way, psychologically, socially, and physically for these women to consider divorce or leaving. Separate these women from their families and there’s no one to even worry about hiding evidence of abuse from.
And sad to say, domestic violence is also very much normalized in Desi culture. It is not at all seen as bad to hit a child or a spouse, even dominate and beat them- it’s viewed as corrective. It’s the perfect storm for violence against women, sexual abuse, human trafficking and femicide to occur.
I am not saying this to be disparaging towards Desi people or the culture at all- tons of amazing things and people come out of India- this just isn’t one of them. I hope we will do a better job in future recognizing and addressing these risks for immigrant women and the diaspora as a whole, and providing resources to assist. It is simply not okay and likely preventable. It is not okay for a woman to come here alone, marry and live with someone she has never met or properly vetted, and have no options to leave if things go bad. That is very much a form of human trafficking imo, even if she consents to come in the first place.
