Advice Column: My wife slaps me at the slightest provocation

I have been married to this girl for four years now even after my parents insisted on we not getting married citing ethnic differences, I still went ahead simply because at the start it was love and we were almost inseparable.

The problem now is that she slaps me at the slight provocation and I am so ashamed of telling people around me this. I also find it terrible because I can not even raise my hands back at her even when I’m seriously pained because of our society which frown at such.

Now it as degenerated into beating, tearing of clothes and spitting on me whenever we have misunderstanding.

The last time we had a heated argument, I had a black eye after receiving several punches from her. Please, advice me.

 

Please what can i do???
