Anger after judges quote Bible in refusal to raise man's sentence for assaulting ex over alleged adultery
Women's rights groups in Portugal have reacted angrily to a court decision that quoted the Bible in justifying a suspended sentence for a man convicted of assaulting his ex-wife with a spiked bat because of alleged adultery.
The man was given a 15-month suspended sentence and a fine of €1,750 for using a bat spiked with nails to assault the woman in the street in 2015, leaving her covered in cuts and bruises.
