What should it say? "Russia copies Islam and lets you beat your wife."

Russia's parliament voted 380-3 on Friday to decriminalize domestic violence in cases where it does not cause "substantial bodily harm" and does not occur more than once a year.
Yeah, basically, the vodka fueled slanging match of the year that escalated into a slap in the face doesn't become a court case at every turn
And yes the title is deceptive, since it makes it sound like you get a free pass at beating the shit out of your wife with a sledge hammer

Further note "The move, which eliminates criminal liability in such cases, makes a violation punishable by a fine of roughly $500, or a 15-day arrest, provided there is no repeat within 12 months"
That isn't decriminalised last I heard.

So, this is a domestic drug related violence clemency law?

It should say: Russian Parliament votes to decriminalize domestic violence in certain situations.
That at least, would be factual.

No, the title as it stands is accurate. Your title is just more specific.
