Very true. What's the harm before all evidence is heard and all avenues are exhausted and as Steve stated her husband is pretty much so on paper only. Her parents should have more of a say in this.

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright
