The “Aitraaz” of 498A arrives!

What would you do if your illustrious and shining career comes not only to a halt but takes a huge blow because of a 498A case on you and there is an allegation of demanding Rs. 10,000 as dowry when you have millions to dispense?

What would you do when your hard-earned social reputation and fame goes for a toss owing to a bunch of false allegations on you with the premise you being “Guilty until Proven Innocent”?

What would you do when you are alienated from your own child and sent behind bars on a mere uninvestigated complaint, without trial or investigation?

What would you do if you are deemed as a criminal even before the case against you is proved?

What would you do when you see your dear childhood friend, serving a successful career as an overseas Govt. employee suddenly succumbing to a case under Section 498A of the IPC and committing suicide, being unable to bear the tormenting treatment and leaving behind a touching and sensitive suicide video?

This is a work of fiction.

What if, a software engineer going through a bad marriage drafts a divorce petition containing statements like,

1. My wife is behaving like an uncompiled variable throwing runtime exceptions.
2. Every time I expect a performance from my wife, she throws an exception.
3. I tried my level best to debug my wife but could not.
4. The debugger crashes with null pointer exception when the variable called “Salary” becomes “0”.
5. I can’t “Step-Into” her.
6. She keeps on “Stepping-Over” me.
7. I want to “Step-out” of this marriage.
8. The “Break-Points” are too slippery.
9. Once suspended, she resumes with great cost.

10.  Maintenance cost is very high and upgrade is impossible.

Men are feeling pained with this slap – इस थप्पड़ से मर्दों को हो रहा है दर्द

Translated from original article

A friend asks a man during a party, “What’s the plan for new year?” And a tight slap lands on his face from his girlfriend, standing near him, as he fails to give proper response to the above question by his friend. Similarly, in another incident, a husband gets a tight slap on his face, instead of love, from his wife as he sits expectant in a room in front of the TV. After these slaps men are advised not to repeat the mistake of last year and they should buy these passes for New Year’s party this year.

Tolerating wife’s torture silently – घुट घुट के सहते बीवियों के सितम

Translated from this link

Often it is heard that the life of a daughter-in-law has been ruined due to the harassment meted out by husband and mother-in-law. But why is it not common to hear that a wife has ruined the life of her husband and mother-in-law. Well, it does happen but these incidents are suppressed and never make it out of the house owing to male domination in the society. Men become victims of domestic violence and compromise in order to protect the reputation of the family. This is the reason that social organizations are sprouting up for men victimized by domestic violence.

As per these organizations the poor man, if he hits his wife he is violent and if he gets beaten up by her, he is a coward; if he fights after seeing his wife with someone else then he is jealous and if he does not react then he is indifferent; if he goes out of house, he is a wanderer and if he stays at house, he is useless; if he scolds his children he is torturous and if he does not then he is irresponsible; if he stops his wife from going to job then he is of suspicious nature and if he does not stop then he lives off his wife; if he listens to his mother then he is mama’s boy and if he listens to his wife then he is a henpecked husband.
