Marital rape - is it not a crime?- Page 2

The forums for certain serials here are proof of the misogynistic crap that is spewing mostly from women about their abusive heroes. They will excuse everything and anything the male lead does and vilify the female lead for resisting his advances. It's super gross and the excuse for the support is that it's fantasy and it doesn't relate to real life. A massive falsehood. There are impressionable people out there who do think forcing women around is acceptable because that's what they see on the screen.

Yes!!! That is the show I was talking about...and when I mention it to my friends who also watch it...that bit just gets ignored...(whatsapp)...and in the past when I've brought it up...they always have tried To justify it, especially one friend.
Then again, she is the doormat in her relationship. She pretends she's not. But, he controls everything. So i guess, it's her coping mechanism...ohhh...this is romantic... -_-

After reading the above posts...Indian Penal Code sucks...and what's the deal with wearing Western clothing? It always IS the woman's fault.

Of course.

Movies and TV shows simply exploit our existing beliefs and further cement them in.
I hate watching shows with a brain sometimes lol


Sorry, typing on phone...excuse mistakes :)

Read through that post...LOL...some ppl telling u to go to the SJ forum...like it was some despicable forum where you talk about ghastly things
Some girls said they desired to be in Khushi's position...
They're all barely out of their teens. So many are like 12-15...just cuz the guy is good looking, ur going to give up all your self respect for him?

I did not get angry. I was just amused. And I pity them.
It was made clear that the gripe was with the way Arnav exerted his manliness...not that he was about to rape her...but these are little girls remember. Immature and silly. Just hope to God nothing like that ever happens to them, regardless of them wishing it did *shudder*
Then again, you do have that other show on Life OK about DV...so many girls want the lead actress to go back to her torturing husband because...wait for it...he's good looking.

Can't help anyone if they willingly close their eyes.

@Bewafa: Yes, that particular show has a lot of objectionable stuff but there are tons of others too where forced marriages are glamorized.

If the lead was a moustached, middle aged, pot bellied guy (no offense to those who fit the description 😆) then there would be a revolt in the forums but since he isn't everything is forgiven for a pretty face. So, these shows are guilty of conditioning girls to believe stalking, emotional, verbal, physical abuse is a-okay if the couple is destined to be in love. And then people have the gall to ask if the relationship is abusive then why do women stick around. Well, if you've been brought up with the idea that true love is a good enough reason to excuse and forgive abuse then what do you expect them to do.

Married or unmarried, women in India do not have a right to say no once they have said yes. I am not talking about specific cases, but this is the general public view.
