When Sally (not her real name) was ordered by her husband to sleep with another man, she thought he was joking.

He told her that he had entered a wife-swapping deal with his friend, and ordered her to sleep with him.

When she refused, he beat her so badly she needed stitches around her eyes and had a broken tooth. Months of physical abuse followed.

One of the beatings was so severe that it caused her to miscarry.

When she was urged to make a police report, she refused, thinking that her husband abused her because he loved her too much.
