Indian brides given bats to keep abusive husbands in check

Brides in India are being given bats to combat their abusive husbands, an article on BBC.com reports.  The bats are typically used to beat dirt out of the laundry but are more commonly being used to "ward against drunkards".  This new practice will hopefully give women more empowerment when standing up to their abusive counterparts and will empower them to take a bigger role in their safety and equality.
