A Malaysian MP told the Malaysian Parliament that when a wife denies sex, she is "psychologically and emotionally abusing" her husband.
Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh, an MP with the ruling coalition in Malaysia, spoke during a parliamentary debate on domestic violence, as the country discusses amendments to existing laws against the issue.
He argues men often suffer "emotional rather than physical abuse" and went on to elaborate how.
"Even though men are said to be physically stronger than women, there are cases where wives hurt or abuse their husbands in an extreme manner," the BBC quotes him saying.
"Usually, it involves wives cursing their husbands: this is emotional abuse. They insult their husbands and refuse his sexual needs. All these are types of psychological and emotional abuse."
