Where are the concerned- scared parents now?
TW:mentions of self harm/death.
Long post ahead
Ya'll know a few months back when there were these cases consistently popping up about women k*lling their husbands and people were talking about "Blue Drum treatment."
Istg, i heard more than enough concerned parents who were worried for their son's life. They were worried about getting him married at all. Many uncles said, ' i don't want my son to get married and d*e. He is good as is."
Where are these parents now when the dowry cases are getting the short spanned limelight of instagram attention (despite being a systematic failure for centuries.)???
Huh? I didn't hear a single middle aged man 'joking' how he is scared to get his daughter married off because of all this.
I heard 'caring mothers' are telling their daughters to come back home in case of any mishap, and that they will always take her back. Which sounds nice and necessary but is also, not making much of a difference imo. Because you tell your daughters that they will always have your support and then you go ahead and mock divorced women or 'older' unmarried women, calling them cursed an witchy in front of the same daughters. Those women know what's in store for them if they try to get divorced.
In the case of guys, parents were ready to have an unmarried son**, but unmarried daughters?!?! Who are more likely to de because of how normalised this systematic abuse is?????*
NO GIRL YOU WILL GET MARRIED ANYHOW AND EVEN THOUGH WE WILL BE THERE TO 'TAKE YOU BACK', WE WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST ADJUST!
The social stigma around divorce, is unfortunately much worde than its for dowry. THAT is the reason of this systematic collapse.
PS: I don't know if my point was clear enough, I was just exhausted of all the jokes about how wives kill their husbands and then utter silence after the dowry deaths.
