10sentence and this means the officers or the manager loses the job. This is a stiffer penalt, these people of this Diocese wouldlike to be liken it that, domestic violence like wife beating should lead to be divorce or temporary separation depending on thedegree of the offence our lawyers can determine these degrees.Rapists should face life imprisonment although you have heard serious penalties like they should be castrated, they should bedone what, but you see we also have women rapists, if they cannot be castrated, the a better sentence which is uniform shouldbe metted.
