Interesting. Usually what happens is this.

Usually, the behaviour of the offender backfires on him or her. A case in point, a dirty rotten scoundrel I knew, unfortunately, had a host of psychological problems which were projected onto other women, who also knew him unfortunately. They suffered as a result of his narcissistic personality behaviour. They had breakdowns because of his nasty, unreasonable behaviour towards them. They wanted to punish him, rightfully so but could not.

Well. Dirty rotten scoundrel thought getting married to a female from his own culture/ stock would “ heal his issues” with women. It was all those other women's faults , not his, kind of beliefs , that he carried around. Getting married though, simply exacerbated and highlighted his issues after a few months and the wife concerned ordered a divorce two years into to the marriage although she was from Islamic culture and had never married prior to him . Women don't get a divorce unless they're desperate.

This guy humiliated himself publicly this time. To have the wife want to leave him because of his horrible behaviour was a big whack in his face. And, she could because it was easier for her in NZ which is a country that strongly upholds women's rights, especially in terms of separations from abusive marriages.

I guess, revenge exacts itself via that thing called karma. Those who got hurt earlier can feel vindicated if they're around to hear or see the drama.
