Kudos to those brave women who are braving seemingly insurmountable odds, social and communal ostracisation, ridicule and contempt of their own families, kith and kin and still coming out in the open against the atrocities committed by them against their lawfully wedded husbands and in-laws........
Rape within the confines of holy matrimony or marital rape is an ugly reality that rears it's head and confronts bruised, battered and harassed women on a daily basis; global human rights watchdog Amnesty International had put out the rather startling and revealing fact about 81% of all Indian married men raping their wives every night........
Yet, out lawmakers in their infinite wisdom(?) preferred to look the other way and give the timely and requisite recommendations of the Justice J.S. Verma committee in this regard a go by as they were of the informed opinion that any legislation against marital rape would end up causing irrepairable damage to the social and moral fabric of this nation.......
However, there are a few hardy souls like the doughty woman in Gurgaon who dare to resolutely stand up against all these nay sayers and file police complaints against their husband and mother-in-law for making them indulge and participate in unnatural sexual acts against their will as they did not bring enough dowry and material wealth from their parental homes to satisfy their burgeoning material desires.........
The insatiable quest for material wealth has assumed this heinous form of late and more and more women are being forced into unnatural and perverted carnal practices and acts as their "esteemed" (?) husbands and in-laws want to punish and torment them by making them do something that goes against their nature and conscience.........
And that is precisely why I for one have nothing else but sheer admiration and inestimable respect for the doughty woman from the Kherki Daula Police Station limits in Haryana's Gurgaon town who bravely walked into the area's police station with her head held high and registered a complaint against both her erring husband as well as mother-in-law on Saturday afternoon.......
According to the indomitable woman, her tale of woe started the very day she entered the precincts of her husband's home a little over six months ago as she was subjected to both physical and mental cruelty as both the above mentioned notables were of the informed opinion that the dowry brought by her was an affront to their social and material status........
Her complaint also goes on to mention the fact that she was made an unwilling party to the unnatural, demented and perverse carnal desires of her lawfully wedded husband and repeated complaints against the same to her mother-in-law and village elders only brought her ridicule and untold contempt.........
Utterly fed up and disgusted with this rather shoddy and contemptible state of affairs she finally summoned up the courage to walk into the above mentioned police station and lodge a complaint against her husband and mother-in-law on Saturday afternoon......
On their part, the police officials have registered cases under sections 498A (dowry harassment), 377 (unnatural sex) as well as section 31 (common intent) of the Indian Penal Code and lodged a manhunt for the absconding duo who took to their heels as they realised that their Waterloo is nigh.........
I only hope that more and more womenfolk take a leaf out of this exemplary and noteworthy ladies book and take up cudgels against their tormentors and torturers no matter whosoever they may be as a relentless war against the scourge of marital rape is the crying need of the hour.......
