The society has a very naïve way of treating the genders- they try to put everyone in the same formula. Men are like this or women are like this… that’s what you will hear everywhere.
But if we think and observe we will notice that human beings are different! From one person to another person- not from one gender to the other or one nation to the other nation! Two people under same circumstances can react in two absolutely different ways, the society can afford to play naïve but the law-makers should not.
When a love affair goes wrong, the society always blames the woman, the law always blames the man! Why?
There might have been a time when women were gullible but that rarely is the case these days. These days most of the girls know the consequences of a wrong step in love- they watch too many movies even the girls from remote villages!
When something ugly happens in a marital home the society mostly blames the wife, the law mostly blames the in-laws! Why?
I have seen women blackmailing their in-laws threatening them with dire consequences if they don’t give in to her demands (of course mostly a rogue son is helping her, but the more vicious ones don’t need that husband to make her in-laws dance to her tunes- all they need is a weak husband who won’t dare to go against her).
It’s necessary for the stability of a nation that its law department should act wise, should come to conclusions after studying every possible angle! It should not jump to conclusions based on its own belief or codebooks.
After watching the present day, and its people the law books are required to be revised and may be re written in India. Sometimes the judgments are pathetic and sometimes they are hilarious! We want to look up at the judge’s seat with expectation and respect! Not look down upon that seat with mockery or disrespect!

dunno about lawmakers.. but the judges has started being sensitive to realities of the society – at least so it seems in spurts !
but sometimes judges really scare us by their judgments or comments!
🙂 they too part of the same judgmental society !
precisely
There’s only one thing for it – you to become a judge!
well, judges have to go by too many bindings, and often they knowingly fail to deliver actual justice! I will rather hope and pray for divine justice than becoming a judge!
I think the world is full of blaming game. Blaming across gender. Sometimes, its good for couple to stay together rather than with in law 😦
cant be truer
🙂
wise words, my friend.
thanks david
One would expect that the law would not respond to gender stereotypes…but it appears that it is the case in many countries.
absolutely
We’ve got a long way to go before we call ourselves, humans. Justice is a lost cause in our society due to blurred vision.
yes! there are so many blockages in the path of justice in our country that it hiccups at every step!
Excellent – wish we could change /overturn the judiciary system both in the personal and professional meaning of the terms.
my sentiments exactly- at least rewriting will be a very good idea!
