Women Are More Corrupt And Vile Than Men.(This letter by Jana has appeared in the THE WEEK's, Jan 27, 2008 edition)
I respect Shobhaa De for her analytical power and bold views. But I was disappointed to read the column "M-i-Is escape grind" (Jan 06, 08). It shows her prejudiced and short-sighted views on a social issue. She seems disappointed with mothers-in-law escaping the grind. Her sympathy for the daughters-in -law is commendable, but she forgets that old women also deserve consideration. Under the shield of anti-dowry laws, the family members of the husband are tortured.
A complaint by a woman can make life miserable for her-in-laws' family. It is a tragedy that the onus of proving 'not guilty' is always on the husband's family. Educated women drag their men and in-laws to the police just to settle scores. People think that the husbands and their families are at fault. Has De cared to find out how many young boys have courted death to escape scheming girls?
A few months back, some engineers, IITians and MBA professionals undertook a dharna here to protest against the abuse of the law by women. Now some courts are giving directions to verify complaints. Some dowry cases were dismissed as they were fabricated.
My daughter-in-law had filed complaints against me, my wife and son. My son died in an accident as he was under stress. We had to make rounds of the crime cell, where they treated us like criminals. The magistrate court later dismissed the case. It is unfortunate that we plead for young girls at the cost of old women.

Resurrecting the Rights Of Women
The democratic polity in India has failed to create suitable environment for smooth implementation of women-related laws. Thanks to the male-centric fervour, it has become a herculean task to provide speedy justice to women trapped in unspeakable situations. Against these developments, it has become imperative to create new legal channel, having special courts, to provide patient hearing to the cases related to women. However, women should not use these forums/channels to harass innocent individuals, which have become a sort of trend-pattern in our times.

Female Students Stripping For Cash
Is it a courageous step or compulsions born out of necessity which force the girl students (even boys) to indulge in wild sexual activities for money? At least, that appears to be the case with the Cambridge Undergraduate students working as call girls to pay their fees.

Men had better watch their steps in this town in South -Western China .If they don't obey their wives' or girlfriends' orders, and satisfy their every whim , they can expect to hear the crack of whip and must cower as punishment without mercy is meted out .The city of Chongquing – the biggest city in the world by some estimates with 32 million people -is planning to build a town dedicated to women in the Shuangqiao district .
