The premise is this, that the system of arranged marriages is a breeding ground for sexual assault and marital rape. This is a strong statement I make on a fundamental basis that sexual personality is the most complex and fragile part of a human both men and women.

There is almost no scope of discovering libido & sexual compatibility even in today's semi-arranged marriage kind of setup.The entire concept itself starts with religion, caste, money, status, power, affluence, class and a bunch of other superficial concepts.

When parents pressurise females in this kind of setup and think that they know so much about life and make decisions and coerce women into partnership based on their worldview without allowing women to assert their agency how on earth do we expect the same women to assert agency in intimacy?

The husband who involves in marital rape and sexual abuse is definitely a predator. That is not even a debate. My question is who is going to question the parents who are objectifying their own daughters who put them in systems based on every other nonsense except their own personality.

In my opinion this is nothing less than sex trade. The perpetrators are always discussed but it's parents who start this nonsense and they are not treated with the same amount of shame & disgust.

Why is it like this? Even if we ignore whether marital abuse happens or not parents are essentially objectifying their daughters and treating them as commodities that some one can get if you pass their checklist.

The issue is women don't look at their parents with the same amount of disgust and allow such things to happen and the entire discussion happens around the husband but totally misses the parents involvement and their intuition of this.

Why don't women reject this arranged marriage premise entirely and start attacking the roots altogether? I find it utterly disgusting when parents or siblings sit and decide who the women will be having intimacy with.

If women can't start questioning and asserting agency directly in their families social media and progressive spaces where scared women try to find shelter won't be of much help.

Because these spaces are isolated from the real world and don't interact and influence the root cause directly these movements and spaces become a place to vent rather than treating the root cause

Ps: I am sorry if this is sounding offensive but I believe parents should not assert control over fully grown adults and keep deciding their sexual partners this is just gross.

I would like to open a theoretical discussion on the boundaries of feminist analysis—specifically regarding bodily autonomy, reproductive agency, and biological commodification—and whether these principles logically extend to non-human female mammals.

When examining the life cycle of female dairy cattle in commercial livestock management, the operational realities parallel several conditions that feminist theory critiques in human contexts:

Reproductive Agency & Physical Integrity: Does economic intent alter the ethical evaluation of non-consensual reproductive procedures? In standard dairy operations, pregnancy is induced via artificial insemination, where a technician manually places semen into the uterus. In human feminist discourse, non-consensual physical intervention involving reproductive organs is defined as a breach of bodily autonomy.

Separation of Offspring & Maternal Rights: Does the systematic removal of newborns constitute an exploitation of mammalian motherhood? Female cattle are impregnated to initiate lactation, but male calves are typically separated from the mother shortly after birth because they do not produce milk. A core principle of feminist reproductive ethics is the right of a female to exercise her maternal biology without coercive intervention or forced separation from her offspring.

Lactation & Physical Boundaries: Does manual or mechanical extraction of milk from a female mammal constitute a boundary violation? Lactation in mammals functions biologically to provide nutrition to offspring. In dairy farming, a female's mammary glands are routinely handled and extracted from by humans, while the calf receives substitutes. Feminism asserts that a female body and its biological outputs should not be commodified or accessed without consent.

The Core Inquiry - Female mammals across species share identical biological processes for reproduction, gestation, maternal bonding, and lactation.

Do feminist principles—such as bodily integrity, anti-commodification, and opposition to reproductive control—logically apply to all female mammals, or are non-human females considered exempt under philosophical frameworks such as speciesism?

I am interested in hearing how women evaluate these conceptual overlaps and where the analytical boundaries are drawn
