American Taliban: Women have no right to their own bodies, but they're responsible for HIS

[Flabbergasted]

75. Ok. Lets juxtapose context. (Just discussing context not comparing situations)

Woman kills husband...

Context 1. She shot her husband. She had two choices. Murder her husband or not murder her husband. She chose 1 and therefore is guilty.

Context 2. Husband was abusive, physically and emotionally. He was sexually molesting their kids and had threatened her life on numerous occasions. She feared she would be murdered at some point and feared for her children's life. One night during one of his drunken rages she grabs the gun and kills him. Court rules justifiable homicide. Not guilty.

I'm not trying to glibly define the context as guilty or not guilty but compare your simplified "context" to the broader context. I think that it is possible that all three were "immoral" in some way (Man, wife, employee). Iow we are not privy to almost all of the specific circumstances. Also I think the most important factor is the work relationship. All three worked together. Imagine the stress. The couple would face this virtually all the time (at home and at work.) Imagine the nightly fights that carried over into the next day's work. It was an either me or her dilemma. Who would you choose your wife or your employee? If you were the wife would you demand she be fired or perhaps suggest another remedy? What if you considered her a threat? There probably were other ways to handle this situation but severing the working relationship made sense to them and the pastor.
