Greetings!
According to the reports in vernacular newspapers in Tamil Nadu, there were three reports of women killing their husbands with the help of their illicit lovers. The gullible lovers lost their precious lives with no fault of theirs except that they were legally married to these women.
Of course, there is a law to protect domestic crimes committed against women in addition to the existing dowry harassment laws. Under these laws women can complain to the police for action against men. Very many women have already established their rights effectively using these laws and have kept the erring husbands at a distance.
But there is the other side of the coin. Some women persecute their husbands either for money or to cover their own illicit relationship with their former or present lovers. There are already allegations that these laws are misused by educated and employed women. Even there were reports that the affected men have formed an association and they are fighting for legal and moral safeguards including protection from the women who are misusing.
Where does the problem lie? Is it because of the present arranged marriage system? Or is it because these men have not lived up to their women’s expectations? All of us should give a thought to these social issues.
