If there are large, organized women's groups in England, I would contact them and see if there is some action or protest that could be undertaken. A judge is supposed to be a person who dispenses justice to the people. If that Judge is unfairly biased against women, then he cannot effectively dispense anything that looks like justice for female victims of sexually based or violent crime. I would look at his previous rulings in similar cases for one. Does he have a history of cases in which he systematically rules against women in cases where the women is clearly the victim of violent crime, then that is one way of showing prejudice. Look especially for snide comments in the ruling towards the female plaintiffs. Also: Is he politically active in any organized groups that are notorious for their archaic treatment of women and the rights of women? Although its not a sure thing, if coupled with proof such as suggested above, it certainly lends credence to the complaint. Has the Judge ever been accused of a violent act against a women, domestic violence, sexual harassment, etc., ? That would also show an interesting trend. Thats all I can think of right now. But certainly, if theses are clear cut cases of women being beaten by their husbands, and no significant act is taken to stop those men from committing similar future acts or punishing them for prior bad acts, then protest would be an option for starters.

Its an overy act of prejudice. It's a mistake to call it something as harmless as a "Mistaken ruling." It connotes that the Judge wasn't fully aware of the implications of these violent acts against women due to some reasonable perspective. Beating women senseless, how can one mistake that overt act of violence for anything other than what it is? These women live in mine fields. They never know what act they will committ in the confines of their marriage, that will arm their husband like a bomb. They never know what individual act they will commit in the course of the day, that will justify HIS need to beat her into compliance and complete submission. And that you have a judge that is unable to comprehend that tells me that either the judge is incredibly stupid, or potentially just as mean as the men he all but defended. What do you suppose the verdict would have been if one of those housewives had beaten their husband's bloody til they couldnt get up? Would the judge have sentenced them to jail, because clearly they have a lot of *idle time on their hands to plan and committ such crimes? Too busy to beat your wife? One assumes that it is anything more than a systematic method of ensuring complete obediance through repeated, seemingly random acts of extreme violence and the threat of violence.
