Do you think I should be punished for such behavior?

I think you should be applauded for enacting laws that make it possible to protect a woman from an abusive man, or for locking up dangerous criminals.

Your example is a bit too vague to be useful.

Abuse is generally the exception to the loving relationship rule. You're being intentionally obtuse. If I had intended abuse to factor into the decision, I would have specified that.

Obviously I'm trying to draw a parallel between homosexual relationships being deemed as deviant or second-class and something the parent may have understood, namely the pain of being separated from a loved one for no reason.
