Hillary Clinton remained married to her husband despite rumors of his philandering ways. He was at the center of one of the biggest sex scandals of the nineties, but she never left him.

Akshay Khanna has a reputation for being a philanderer too, but Twinkle remains steadfast with him.

It is not limited to India, Bollywood, or the '70s. Patriarchy is a factor, but sometimes the issues at hand are far more complex. Some women stick by their husbands due to patriarchal pressures. But some women stick by their husbands because they seek factors other than fidelity in their marriage.

I always wonder how women even tolerate such things. Is it because they r no more emotionally invested in the relationship and r content with being just part of family .
