What type is your wife?
What type is your wife?
1. Kid-wife: The wife who is still the kids of her parents. She will talk to her mother at least once every two hours. Whether the husband knows it or not, even the dinner menu is decided by the mother who might be sitting 1000 miles away from them.
2. Traditional wife: The one who grew up in an environment where her father used to beat her mother, where her brother had all the facilities and she was deprived. And now who wants to take revenge from you because her family had been unfair to her.
3. Romantic wife: The wife whose romance is sustained only till the time you buy expensive gifts for her. She expects to fly business class even if that means that you have to take a personal loan from your employer to pay the EMI of the house that you bought in her name.
4. Modern wife: The one who has dozens of boys as friends. She is never there when you come back from work (She does not have to work because you are there to work like a donkey to support her).
5. Liberal wife: The liberated soul who has realized that husband is a free ATM machine. She does not have any obligations in marriage, only the rights. And she knows very well how to threaten you to send money to sponsor her sibling’s education.
Bachelors beware!
The 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The girl’s family values play much more significant role than her education level.
- If the girls’ parents insist for an early marriage, rest assured there is some problem.
- 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).
- If during background check, somebody pointed out something negative about the girl, take it seriously. Remember, people normally don’t point out trivial deficiencies.
- Dont trust girl’s or your relatives blindly, no matter how close they are. Do your own background check.
- 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
- 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.

Reverse harassment
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
We have heard ad nauseum about women being harassed by cruel husbands and in-laws. But in the recent past, there are innumerable cases of innocent husbands and their old parents being subjected to abject torture and mental agony by young married women. Such incidents have become ubiquitous especially in the upper and middle strata of Indian society.
Demographically, ladies hailing from elite classes and from so-called upper castes (that includes Brahmins!) are more prone to misuse the provision of Anti-Dowry Harassment Law in India viz: Section 498a of Indian Penal Code.
There are many a horror story of innocent victims of the law. It is a sad state of affairs that the law meant to protect women is misused indiscriminately against men, women and children, who are traumatized for life after being licked by this draconian law. The trauma for the husband’s family can start from the wedding day itself. In fact, it can start even before the shaadi is solemnized!
The controversial draconian law “Section 498a of IPC†was formulated in 1983 for the betterment of Indian Society. At that time, nobody had ever imagined that this law would be mainly used to terrorize and torture old and sick elders, innocent mothers and sisters.
Under Section 498a of IPC, if a woman complains of harassment and cruelty by husband, his relatives (old and sick parents, sisters, even children!) and friends, the accused are all considered “guilty till proven innocentâ€. They all are arrested without investigation or warrant, as this alleged offense is cognizable, non-bailable and non-compoundable. Read more
