Another argument they used was that women's accounts weren't to be trusted in domestic violence cases and that men could wrongly be 'labeled'. Article 2/2 provided that the victim's account was to be taken. Women's complaints are not taken seriously, and offenders are repeatedly let go without any consequences.
Our prisons are filled to the brim with journalists and political prisoners, however repeat sexual offenders, abusers, p3d0philes and murderers are released.

Alternate comment if you want to avoid the mention of real cases.
I will be discussing actual murder trials (nothing graphic but still wanted to mention) from real femicide cases from now on, please avoid if uncomfortable.
One of the reasons was the convention not specifically referring to 'husband and wife' but 'partner' therefore also protecting queer people + people who are unmarried experiencing domestic abuse. Anti-LGBT groups used this to push against article 4/3.
