Domestic vioIence must end
She didn't deserve that and her husband & in laws are the real life monsters. She's pregnant and is being abused brutally still some people were like, "let's listen to her husband's story" Our country has numerous cases like her unfortunately. The worst thing is that most of the time these women don't even get help from the legal authorities and there are very less good social services, NGOs where these women can get help.
Some people were saying that because of husbands like that many married women in our country run away from their husband's home cuz they don't have other options to escape from such abusive marriages.
Our media also doesn't pay attention to these cases as much as the cases where the media gets the chance to moral police someone.
Earlier I used to be proud of the fact that India has 1% divorce rate, the lowest divorce rate in the world. I believed that families staying together no matter what is good. But later I realized that the 1% divorce rate is not because of strong family bonds, but because of the lack of freedom and choice our citizens have.
In this video, the woman is not financially independent and is dependent on her husband financially. But I've seen many cases, where financially independent women are also tolerating such abusive husbands and in laws. I was like why don't these women just take legal actions and get divorce since they're not financially dependent on anyone and I believed that our country is changing rapidly nowadays so it won't be an issue for them. I used to question why even the financially independent and rich citizens of our country are not taking divorce in case of broken marriages even in 2026 and why the divorce rate is still 1%. Then I learnt that in India it's very tough to get divorce even if you are financially independent. Our laws are very different from Western countries and since divorce is still a taboo in our country that's why even the legal authorities aren't that supportive in that matter and they try to make the couple stay together. Also that many single mothers after divorce find it harder to get rent and they often get no support from their own family and the society. Our society is not gonna change that fast and it's gonna take a long time for that.
As I grew older I realised that kids cut contacts with their parents for a reason and send them to old age homes. Some kids cut contacts with their parents when their parents raise them in a dysfunctional family just like the one in the video. When these kids grow up seeing one of their parent being very abusive to the other parent then that kid sometimes hate that parent and choose to cut contacts with them. I myself have met such people in Assam who did that. They even said that when their abusive parent died they didn't feel sad.
Our society villainizes people for cutting contacts with their parents and sending them to old age homes. Many people who've worked in old age homes have told me that most of the time it's the parents who are responsible for that. And that many of these parents were actually very abusive and toxic, when they were young and they raised their kids in a dysfunctional family.
