First, please don't curse at random posters on the internet. Second, don't make assumptions about whether or not I know the definition of patriarchy; after all, we are two strangers making a point. By the way, if you want to have a discussion about patriarchal systems. Wonderful. Let me begin with where my studies of patriarchy began--with Gerda Lerner's The Creation of Patriarchy. If you would like to have this discussion, let's do so constructively on another post.In THIS post, I stand by my point: I do not see the hand of patriarchy behind Nandani's decision to boink her best friend's husband😆 I see Nandani as a full woman, just like a man, capable of good and bad deeds; she does not get a pass for engaging in an EMA because supposedly she is a woman who has historically faced untoward behaviors such as not getting to express herself in her home and developing low self esteem as a result😭 Once again, what does this have to do with patriarchy, systems that subjugate women and privilege men? It just sounds like she had parents who wanted quiet children. By the way, girls only express themselves at home? They don't talk in school? Not with each other? Why privilege parent's attitudes while ignoring other outlets? Because it suits the nice little argument about that darn patriarchy. It's the patriarchy that made Nandu do it! I't's because she has low self-esteem!It's not because she's a selfish, self-centered user with no moral compass; it's because the patriarchal system in place will not WELCOME HER DECISION to be a cheater😆😆😆Listen, did you consider what the example you gave in your post? You claim under Indian law (actually it's very much English law) defines a wife as a husband's property; as such he must consent to his wife sleeping with another. Patriarchal indeed; But did you ever stop to consider the root of such a law? It's rooted in the law of coverture, darling. It meant that a wife is entitled to the protection of her husband. She was granted at lease one third of their property upon his death. In his lifetime, he was responsible for every mistake she made. He was responsible for her debts. If she slandered someone he was sued. You get the drift. There is something other than "patriarchy" at playNow back to your innane example. Yes, the husband has to consent to his wife having sex with another man. But tell me something: under which Indian law is Nandani going to be charged with adultery? Is it not just Kunal who can be charged with a crime for sleeping with another woman who is not his wife? But here we have two married people, one man and one woman, who have had sex outside of marriage, YET only the man can face criminal prosecution.Please tell me, how do you define this?And actually another very interested question has formed from your example. You state a husband must give his consent for his wife to have sex with another man. I assume Rajdeep didn't consent right? So clearly, there are examples of what could occur and what does occur. But I am curious: who would be legally and financially responsible if Nandani gets pregnant with Kunal's child? Kunal or Rajdeep? In fact, it's Rajdeep. She's still married. His name goes on the birth certificate.Tell me, how do you define this?
Yup adultery law favours woman to counter their subjugation in society.. Both have committed same crime but only Kunal will be punishable under law..
And you presented an interesting scenario.. Rajdeep responsible for KN's child??? 😆😆
Bhagwan kisi bache ko itna bura bhavisya na de.. Hormonal immoral parents added with an abusive father figure.. 😭
