In A Marital Issue One Must Hear From Both Parties - tweetoracle

Under same story of the woman who left her marriage after her husband impregnated their maid and later refused to support her and the children, another controversial reaction emerged: “Until I hear from the man. Experience has shown in a marital issue, you must first hear from both parties.”

At face value, the comment appeals to fairness, but in context, it raises concerns. When a situation already involves clear acts—infidelity with a domestic worker, pregnancy, family breakdown, and child neglect—insisting on “both sides” can function as delay rather than justice. It subtly suspends empathy and accountability, especially when children are affected.

Such comments highlight how women’s lived experiences are often treated as incomplete or questionable until validated by the very party accused of wrongdoing. Balance is important, but not when it becomes a tool to neutralize harm or excuse responsibility.
