Maybe its different in the UK, but here in the USA it seems like no matter what, if the man laid a hand on the woman, even during a self defensive altercation, they side with the woman. It comes down to he-said-she-said, and unfortunately she has her parents as witnesses to back her up even though they only saw the end of the altercation.
