Why slutshaming is so normalized in India?

Hey, I don't really belong here. I've been following this Twisha murder case. It has genuinely provoked me into dwelling deeper. I'm so infuriated however by the social media opinions by a bunch of misogynist, culturally repressive randoms online. They are apparently condemning Trisha for having relationships before marriage, and I'm not talking about her MIL being objectionable about it. It's a bunch of randoms on the internet self-proclaimed intellectuals. According to them, she was rightfully slutshamed etc. there are gruesomely infuriating comments. Imma post some of these for you to get a better idea and then I can ask my follow up question. I want to know y'all's opinion, like any sort of perspective on these things.

These were comments under the post of that Trisha suicide case. And, I'm honestly quite astonished by how condescending and contemptuous it sounds:

  1. "A girl doing promiscuous behaviour before marriage & mother in law can't talk about it? In which world that happens? Past will haunt all till eternity, just because you got married past does not become past, it creates havoc for future too. Reap what you sow"

  2. "You should ask the lady who brought her promiscuous behaviour first. No, man's past will haunt him too. Once you want to punish someone they will use all things to save themselves. Who is right or wrong neither you nor I can decide. Making MIL villain & a dead women angel is wrong"

The condescending tone of these comments is quite gripping(this is not even the worst stuff). I don't understand how sexual history is a contamination of a person's character. And what genuinely infuriates me is how easily society dehumanizes women for simply existing on their own terms. So basically my question is, I want to ask everyone regarding their own opinions of it, doesn't this infuriate you? how easy it is to dehumanize relationships you will talk with someone and people will instantly throw all sorts of derogatory terms. And you know the fucking hypocritic disgusting indian society. If i support you as a man, confidently say I absolutely don't mind what my partner ever did in her pasts, the whole society will call me "cuck".

Few of the only societies in the world, where people forcefully and coercively marry someone, have sexual intercourse which is equivalent to one night stand cause you barely even know each other but apparently they will regard it as the most morally correct act.
