The priest wondered why the singer endured such trauma for a long time. His words:

"Your husband is beating you, he will kill you one day. Police may arrest him, but after a while, they may release him. He may even live long enough to go and remarry. And if he remarries another wicket woman, the children you suffered for, the woman will be maltreating them. Run away! There is nothing spiritual if you are staying in a marriage and you are dying gradually."
