';couples face jail over SMS';what do you think about this domestic bill?

spouses risk spending two years in jail if they make offensive messages to their partners.


alternatively,spouses face a fine for the offence if the law is passed.


in a ddition to inmprisonment and paying a fine,they court may order perpetuators of domestic violence to compesate the victim.


is this really fair?';couples face jail over SMS';what do you think about this domestic bill?
I think it really depends on what kind of a text it is. A text that's just mean is one thing, and I don't think it should be punished, but a pattern of offensive, rude, vulgar, and/or threatening texts is something that could point to a risk of future violence, so it could be good to punish it.
