Indian Husbands Seek Refuge Frm Nagging Wives

Nagging spouses are nothing new and certainly no wives from any particular nation have exclusively cornered the market.

There are nagging husbands too, but not as far as a particular group of Indian husbands are concerned. They are demanding that the local government create a male protection society to address their grievances.

The men have claimed that they have had enough torment from their spouses and they marched through the streets of the northern city of Lucknow dressed as grooms and demanding a National Commission For Men.

“We are asking for equal rights. We want somebody to listen to the grievances of men,” said Subhash Dube, a medical doctor who described himself as a victimized husband.

There is a penal code that is meant to protect women against their husbands, which is well and good, but statistics show an abuse of this section pertaining to dowry issues.

“Demands to amend this law have been put forward a lot of times. Therefore, we oppose this law”, says Indu Pandey, president of the All India Welfare Committee for Husbands.

This is a moot point because traditionally if an Indian groom and his family are unhappy with the bride’s dowry, the wife is often physically and emotionally abused; hence the reason for this penal code. The dowry refers to the money, goods, or estate that a wife brings to her husband at the time of the marriage.

Although the practice of dowries was banned in 1961, it exists to this day. Indian police receive hundreds of complaints related to dowry issues every day from women, and when there is a suspicious death of a recently married woman, they are required to investigate it as a possible “dowry death.”

So the tables have turned and the men don’t like it. Most of the misuse of the law regarding women concerns the registering of false claims of harassment by their husbands or their families about not having paid enough in terms of jewelry, cash or other assets.

Although time will tell about this law and its fairness and magnitude to Indian men and women, a truck driver in China named Zhou found another way to deal with his wife’s nagging. He jumped off a ferryboat with his hands over his ears into the Yangtze River in an attempt to escape.

He swam the dangerous two kilometers to shore where he was found. “I felt I was dying, but even that’s better than my wife’s nagging,” he said.

Nagging is not limited to one sex or another, but these two extreme examples tell a tale of what can happen when humans are pushed too far. Is there a lesson here?

Indian men's definition of victimisation is very funny.If the wife doen't bring enuff dowry, they are victimed.If she doesn't produce a male child, the husband feels victimed.If she complaints to police of domestic violence, they are victimised...............poor Indian husband.Are there any takers.....two a penny and plus one free offer.

Are you nuts?......no doubt I am crazy about you!

Bob Marley says

No woman, no cry (Repeat 4 times)

Said said

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lost along the way

In this bright future you can't forget your past

So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

Oh my Little sister, don't she'd no tears

No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

Log wood burnin' through the night

Then we would cook corn meal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

So I've got to push on through

But while I'm gone...

Everything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

Ev'rything's gonna be alright

No woman, no cry

No, no woman, no woman, no cry

Oh, little sister, don't she'd no tears

No woman, no cry

No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

Oh, my little darlyn no she'd no tears

No woman, no cry, yeah

any sister no she'd no tears, no women no cry

No woman no cry, no woman no cry

No woman no cry, no woman no cry

Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown

Obba, obba, serving the hypocrites

As the would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost

Along the way

In this great future,

You can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry, no woman no cry

Little darling, don't she'd no tears, no woman no cry

Say, say, said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was, love would burn on through the night

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My fear is my only courage

So I've got to push on thru

Oh, while I'm gone

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

Everything 's gonna be alright, everything 's gonna be alright

So woman no cry, no, no woman no cry

Oh, my little sister

Don't she'd no tears

No woman no cry

I remember when we use to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire lights

As it was, log would burnin' through the nights

Then we would cook cornmeal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My fear is my only courage

So I've got to push on thru

Oh, while I'm gone

No woman no cry, no, no woman no cry

Oh, my little darlin'

Don't she'd no tears

No woman no cry, No woman no cry

Oh my Little darlin', don't she'd no tears

No woman no cry

Little sister, don't she'd no tears

No woman no cry

Growing "balls"... hhhmmm,

dont they have one?(2,i should say):0

I Agree with nadt

...listen to the sound of silence....

By nadt• 23 Dec 2009 16:15
nadt

well if he was listening in the first place, she wouldnt have to nag.lol. Are mens brains so small that they dont get it in the first place. Then these men should grow some "balls' and deal with their problems instead of crying to their Government to help them, shes nagging, not physically(maybe emotionally) abusing you, do you reall need Governemnt intervention for that.

well i have always said that there are two sides of a coin....we always hear sob stories of women who lament over wife abuse and things and take advantage of their 'weaker sex' position in society.but there are also cases of men who have been driven to the brink of insanity because of women!atrocities against women DO exist....but they are all not exactly saints either.the govt. should probe into such issues with an unbiased eye before making judgements.
