Dear PAO,

I have a sister who is a lesbian. She has been in a relationship with her partner for almost a year. My sister would beat her partner whenever she was drunk. Now, her partner is saying that she had enough and threatened to file a criminal case for the abuses she suffered. I relayed this information to my sister, but she just laughed and claimed that she cannot be held liable under the provisions of RA 9262 because the latter applies only to a man who abuses his partner or wife. Please enlighten us on the matter.
