Which Law Protects Men From Abusive Marriage?

You see, the society is so carried away with protecting the rights of women, promoting gender equality, encouraging feminism, and forgetting the fact that men can be abused by women too.
There are lot of men in our society today who are being abused on daily basis by their wives, but the society seem not to care. Some of these men get killed by these women, some even run mad, while some commits suicide... But the society care less.
How do we describe a situation where a man after working so hard to get to where he is, marries off this girl who in most cases have nothing to offer apart from her reproductive 
organ. The man takes her abroad, puts her in school, polish her, only for her to wakeup one day to realise that this man who picked her off is now a very stupid fellow. She sends him away from their house, she takes the children away from him, and in some cases, she marries another man and the society says nothing apart from "tufiakwa"... Where lies the law that protects men?
I am not a chauvinist, neither I'm I a feminist. I am just one person who doesn't buy the ideas of these two group of people. I believe in mutual respect, I believe in tolerance, I believe one should do unto others what you want others to do unto you, I believe that a man is a man and a woman should be a woman... Above all, I believe that the same law that protects women from abusive men should also protect men from abusive women.
Every gender is prone to being abused, therefore, the law should protect both genders.
May the souls of all the men who died in the hands of their abusive wives rest in peace, and may the law wakeup to protect the ones that are currently being abused.
