Indian women have really progressed a great deal in terms of scruples, values, empathy and traditions, if the following news items that appeared in today’s Hindustan Times is any indication. Please have a look and share your opinion:-

  1. Woman kills brother due to property dispute.

    A WOMAN smashed her brother’s head with a hockey stick and then stabbed him to death with the help of her husband and sons in central Delhi late on Wednesday, the police said.

    The murder was allegedly committed over a property dispute.

    The deceased Prem Kumar, 54, used to work as an accountant with an oil company in Khari Baoli.

    The police said he did not get along with his sister’s family.

    Kumar used to live on the ground floor of his ancestral house in Ara Kash Road while his sister Alka used to live on the first floor with her family.

    The two families reportedly were not on talking terms.

    Kumar’s sister Alka was arrested, while her husband Ravi and sons, Varun and Sahil, were on the run, police said.

    The family allegedly rained blows on Kumar after an heated argument and stabbed him several times, the police said.

    “Kumar was not happy with Alka, since she had eloped with Ravi before her marriage. Their family apparently did not approve of the marriage. Alka reconciled with her parents later and came to live in the ancestral house with her family,” said an officer.

    Kumar was however, not happy with the development.

    The two families often argued over minor issues.

    The police said that Alka used to claim ownership of the house and pestered Kumar to shift out of the ground floor.

    At about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Alka came to Kumar’s house and picked up an argument.

    Her husband and sons reportedly accompanied her.

    “The argument soon turned violent. Alka and her family members picked up a hockey stick and thrashed Kumar. Varun and Sahil then caught hold of a kitchen knife a nd stabbed Kumar on his torso,” said an officer.

    All but Alka managed to flee. Kumar’s family took him to a city hospital where doctors declared him brought dead, police said.

    “We have registered a case and are looking for the other accused,” said an officer

    Legal terrorismThe following are the points for consideration by prospective bridegrooms before taking a plunge in a wedlock with a girl, who is likely to cause enormous misery to you, your parents and sisters!

    Use your grey matter. Stop to think. don’t rush your “aye”. Marriage is a game more of intelligence than of emotions.

    1. If the girl’s father is hen-pecked (that is, has no say in her family and/ or bears little or no relation with his own parents),

      If you see rule no 1 on your marriage, simply walk out of the mandap. no second thoughts.never marry the girl.

    2. Always have a gap of 5-6 months between the day you meet her first and the day of your engagement. Meet her atleast 10 times before taking a plunge.
    3. The girl’s family values play much more significant role than her education level.
    4. If the girls’ parents insist for an early marriage, rest assured there is some problem.
    5. Never marry in hurry, Just because you have been searching for partner for past 3-4 years should not become a cause for concern. It’s better late than suffer from anti-dowry law (498A).
    6. If during background check, somebody pointed out something negative about the girl, take it seriously. Remember, people normally don’t point out trivial deficiencies.
    7. Dont trust girl’s or your relatives blindly, no matter how close they are. Do your own background check.
    8. She is toxic if she
      • has invited very few relatives on her marriage
      • has excessively enquired about your financial status and spendings
      • gave you an indication that she may not want to live with your parents
      • is excessively attached with her family but do not show an equivalent degree of attachment with your parents
    9. Last and very important, always trust the instinct of your parents. They are seasoned and see much more than you can. Even small details seen by your old parents, which may seem very trivial to you, can be very important.

    Important:

    If rule no 1 is found true, simply walk out of the marriage hall. Don’t tarry! No second thoughts.
