Lesson Learnt from "Provoked"

• If you go out with your husband to a party and he doesn't want to dance and another man (or even his friend) asks you to dance with him - even if your husband insists you could dance with the other guy - never accept. In the end he will just be jeaulous and furious. It could have serious consequences. Just stick to your husband, even though he says he doesn't mind.
  
• If you killed your husband and you have been abused by your husband and charged for murder and being asked whether your mother-in-law has ever witnessed any kind of domestic violence (and the answer is yes) don't expect her to speak in your favour in court. In the end every mom defends their own child, no matter what. So don't be surprised if she shows you the cold shoulder.
  
• Don't feel ashamed if your husband/partner abuses you, he should be the one to feel ashamed. So speak up in court.
  
• Don't get married to someone you don't know at all!
  
• Even in prison, try to learn something in the meantime, e.g. improve your English.
  
• Don't put career in front of truth if you are a policeman. Don't lie in court.
  
• Try to be independent as a women in financial terms. Have your own money. If it is getting dangerous, you don't depend on your husband. Don't allow your husband to abuse you, to kick you down the stairs when you are pregnant, cheats on you, rapes you.
  
• Don't think that your husband might always be as nice as in the early days of dating. Very often it happens that in times of financial difficulty you might experience a very different side of your husband's character.Watch out!
  
• "In life there is no honour in silence suffering there is no affection, no comfort be found to be abused. It is our responsibility as mothers to raise our sons to treat women with love and respect not violence and anger. Only then will the suffering end!" (original final sentence in the movie)
