nice advice but if the violence is extremely bad, the maid or wife might not be around (alive) to talk to! If you made a mistake, its easier to say I'm sorry than to have to go to a funeral.

Phone the police immediately when you hear something like that Shreeya...someone's life could depend upon it.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
