This episode was good. It showed how bad the situation was, but also showed that you can get out of it.
I loved that old lady. She was hilarious! I also got to learn what "pati" meant. LOL...that's one word I won't refer to my future husband by 😆
Coming to the issue of domestic violence...it can lead to deaths as well.
There was a case here, Indian couple who came recently from India. The wife was studying, and working. The husband would work somewhere, then quit, then work somewhere else etc
Her parents paid for their tickets, and supported them for the first couple of months. They were also paying for their daughter's fees...and dollars into rupees is a whole lot of money.
The husband used to basically, take all the money (from the joint bank account) she used to make and send it to India. Every single time. So, the girl decided to make a separate account because she wanted to pay for her own fees.
Anyway, the abuse started after she made that separate account.
They lived in the same apartment with another newly married couple from India. They obviously KNEW about the abuse, but kept it quiet because "it's not a big deal. it's not that bad".
Anyway, one day, he came home and they all had dinner and went to their bedrooms. He called his mum up, was on the phone to his mother...locked the door...proceeded to beat the shit out of the girl...used a knife and slashed her face and neck many times to ensure she was dead.
The mother had told him to "just kill and dispose!" and she was on the phone the WHOLE time.
The other couple finally broke down the door (I'm pretty damn sure they only decided to take action when she must have REALLY cried for help 🤢)...so the guy ran away.
Now, he had hidden a bag in the bushes where he had his wallet and clothes...and slipped into the night.
But, he forgot this isn't India. The police acted quickly and found out he had purchased a train ticket...went to the toilets and changed his clothes etc...they found out where he was headed to, and two undercover cops started trailing him.
He travelled to another major city. They followed him all the way until his friend came to meet him. They then arrested the guy. He was arrested the very next day.
Now meanwhile, in India, the killer's mother called the girl's parents in India saying something along the lines of, "serves you right. your useless daughter is no more".
He's in jail now. Forget for how long. But we know some people who work in the jail as security, and this one uncle knew nothing about the case and you know what the killer is telling him? Some REAL sob story. and of course, like it was mentioned in Satyamev Jayate...that she was cheating on him. My dad immediately corrected him.
Why do I know so much? The girl used to work in our business.
It angers me that we have retards like the killer, the killer's mother and even the other couple who lived with them.
Oh, and another point. The girl's sister and her family also lived here. That night, a bit before he came home (which was pretty late), the girl had gone to her sister's house and complained. Her sister told her, "look, go home now. We will discuss this tmr and ask him to explain himself and then do the needful. if you want a divorce, we will make sure you get it"...alas, that day never came because she was killed that day.
I'm sorry for that long post, but the episode triggered that memory...and so I wrote it out. It may not make much sense because I haven't had sleep (exam time and all)...so excuse my REALLY BAD GRAMMAR...mixing up of tenses and what not.
But yes, it is imperative that you get out of that toxic situation quickly because tomorrow may never come. Kal ho na ho.
