The man had physically assaulted his wife in November 2016. He had hit his wife’s head with the palm of his hand at first. He also admitted to kicking his wife several times after throwing her down on the floor.

The wife reported that her husband had gotten angry over her returning home late, which had caused her mother-in-law to wait.

The court views that the professor had undoubtedly used physical force against the victim, considering her detailed account of the incident and hospital records.
