Excerpt: So sayeth the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division. On July 31, 2008, a couple was married by arrangement in Morocco when the bride was 17 years old. They moved to Bayonne, New Jersey, where the new husband found work as an accountant. The husband's mother came to live with them. On November 1st of that year, "acts of domestic abuse" commenced. The young girl finally called the police who, on November 22, 2008 (three weeks later) were still able to photograph numerous, visible bruises all over her body, including on her breasts. Her first punishment session lasted for one hour, during which time she cried all the time. This did not stop her husband. He said that he was doing this "to correct her." The second time, he attacked both her breasts and genitalia, including pulling her pubic hair. Her vagina was very red and swollen—and that is when he administered his ultimate "pedagogical" punishment: He raped her. In addition, on a separate occasion, he slapped her face, "causing her lip to swell and bleeding to occur."
