I disagree with your saying its sexual harrasment. Sexual harassment is if Mj calls Maya and says "If you do not have affair with me i will throw you out of job or stop promotions etc". If MJ was sending her flowers she can reject it or inform HR/Seniors that MJ is harassing her. If it goes extreme she can go to womens cell outside or police since MJ is owner of company. Or just resign and join new company. If she does not do all this and falls in love no matter what he says law and HR will not consider it as sexual hararsment etc. Its more of affair that MJ and Manvi had not sexual harassment. Many women get proposals or flowers from colleagues. They just have to throw that flower in dustbin and put a word to HR or womens cell and move on. HR or police will handle creeps like MJ if hes after you for love etc. If you do not complaint anywhere law or HR or womens cell shall not consider it as sexual harassment. MJ did not threaten her with dismissal or kicking her out of mumbai etc to love him. Thats more of an affair foolish i agree but its an affair
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when either:
- The conduct is made as a term or condition of an individual's employment, education, living environment or participation in a University community.
- The acceptance or refusal of such conduct is used as the basis or a factor in decisions affecting an individual's employment, education, living environment, or participation in a University community.
- The conduct unreasonably impacts an individual's employment or academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment for that individual's employment, education, living environment, or participation in a University community.
where I live, what MJ did in the beginning was definitely sexual harassment. Manvi did not see it for what it was but that does not change the fact that it was a form of harassment. Just like Many women are regularly abused by their husbands but they think it is okay. Abuse is abuse and sexual harassment is sexual harassment even if the victim does cannot identify it,
