...that is the only two words I can say after actually watching the infamous marriage which was yet again ridiculed...I am not a religious person...actually I am an atheist...so religion, customs...really doesn't matter to me...as a woman what matters is commitment, respect and honor from my husband. The promise that the man in my life will respect and love me in the relationship I am in with him. What I mean is although not religious I value marriage as a constitution...it's not about rituals or customs...it's about validation of the emotion of mutual love and commitment.
It was extremely demeaning and horrendously distasteful to watch the institution of marriage stripped naked in the qualms of alcoholism. A unbalanced man forcing a woman into submission and the woman taking it having no ounce of self respect.
It's such a shame because time and again the Indian society boasts about the culture, tradition and respect...we as westerners should learn from but unfortunately it seems hypocritical to me. All I see is a male dominated chauvinistic society where a woman is butchered.
