Good proposal. There should be laws against spousal rape too.
by indiantothecore on Feb 27, 2007 02:33 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

This will reduce Sexual harrassment in the workplace. From actresses to clerks working in small offices, their male bosses and collegues will not get away with sexual advances under the guise of harmless flirting and social interaction, a prerequisite for professional favors and career promotions.

While they are recommending change in laws. There are other sensitive issues as well. Many women are raped by their spouses, they are ashamed and embarrased to discuss it. How about some law against spousal rape and abuse?

Hi indiantothecore,

your recommandation has one strong hardle that is the system of Marriage which is accepted by our society on the basis of Physical relationship betn husband and wife so any law currently in force can not charge spouse being raped. This should their mutual understanding and in case any one is sufferning he/she can satify spouse by other ways also. Lastly they can go for divorced if the he/she cannot bare the situation. By making such a law (recommanded by u) will break the concept of marriage only.

Yes! That's a great idea!

If THIS law develops any teeth, the population of U.P. and Bihar can be completely controlled!!

yeah it may really help women who are totally dependent on their husbands in rural regions. I don't think a woman wants to have half a dozen kids with a husband who abuses her. But sometimes she has no choice.

Well said!

All abuse, even verbal, should be brought under the scope of this law.

These people treat women like cattle.

Verbal abuse is bad yet it is not equally bad as physical abuse. There are so many anorexic married women in our towns and villages who deliver babies each year, no one bothers to ask them about her married life.
Everyone simply assumes the more babies they have the happier they are together which is a misconception many a times.

If verbal abuse is part of the law physical abuse can be prevented in many cases.

As the practice goes, first the women are humiliated verbally and then these animals move to the physical part.

Verbal abuse law can be a good deterrent.
