A court in Cameroon has sparked widespread outrage after a man who killed his wife was given a fine of just €79. The lenient sentence has been widely condemned, with many expressing shock and anger at the court’s decision.
The case has drawn attention to the issue of domestic violence in Cameroon, where women’s rights groups have long campaigned for tougher action against perpetrators.
According to reports, the man was found guilty of killing his wife, but the court ruled that he should only pay a fine of €79. The decision has been met with widespread criticism, with many calling for the man to face more severe punishment.
“How can a life be reduced to just €79?” asked one outraged commenter on social media. “This is a clear example of the justice system failing women in Cameroon.”
The case has sparked a national conversation about domestic violence and the need for tougher laws to protect women. Many are calling for the government to take action to address the issue and ensure that perpetrators face justice.
As one women’s rights activist noted, “This case is a stark reminder of the need for urgent action to protect women’s rights in Cameroon. We cannot afford to let cases like this go unchallenged.”
