The plan is to bar suspected wife-beaters from their homes for 2 weeks while the wife decides the next step. Note suspected. There is no proof of this, no evidence to be presented, there just has to be an accusation, and property rights are overridden.
The move is intended to close a loophole in the current law under which police can only offer immediate protection to a victim if a suspect is charged.Also know as the presumption of innocence. That's no loophole, that's the entire basis of our judicial system.
