"We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen," Nik Abdul Aziz said. "Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed."


That's not abuse, it's a lack of self-discipline on the part of the men.

Grrr.

It sounds to me like the men are just trying to blame their problems on the women. I've never heard of such a thing... never... really..

This is a way for the fundamentalist muslim leader to try to repress women and get them to wear bhurkas or whatever their name for those shrouds is. Blame the women, make them cover up, they then become these invisible humans.
