Extracts:
Why agree daughter to marry Carlo
Vito had him checked over before their marriage and kept tabs on him after
Connie
deaf ear to spousal abuse, resulting in Sonny's murder
I do agree that Vito's apparent unwillingness to meddle in Connie's romance with Carlo was very harmful to pretty much everyone in the Family, including Connie
I believe that in the novel,Vito's solution to the domestic violence in her home was that she should not give her husband a reason to beat her. Once she married,she no longer belonged to her Father,but instead,to her Husband
Vito's
That solution gave everyone a place to hang their hat!
It is fleshed out in the book, Carlo and Connie were moved into the Corleone Mall after Sonny's murder Keeping the enemies closer
