Women | Genocide

Why its so inhuman with the women?
Every society existing on the face of earth has always treated women as a object. No matter which religion it is; the ethics are always too tough on women. India is a land where people feel proud of their religion and culture. From the start India has a male dominated society where the place for women is in their homes. At start women were not allowed to move out of their houses for work. Its only the man in the family who should work and earn, where as the woman should cook and serve the family. Men still take women as their belongings, they treat them like slaves.

For now the conditions may have changed or can say improved a bit but, still they don't have a proper place in society. Still today post marital affairs for a man is considered okey, where as for a woman its taboo. Why this difference? wrong must be treated wrong for everyone in the society but, thats not the case.

What I feel sad is that, still today women haven't realised this genocide and if anyone has then they still feel afraid of raising their voices. Marriage is a custom which is done across world and in every society. Marriage decisions are are still a man's selection process. A father decides whom his daughter should marry (bride's side) and the boy has the selection right (groom's side). Girls who marry against their father's decision are taken as a sinners. And girls who marry thier father's decision are supposed to be well cultered. No matter how bad the main man in the family behaves, he should be respected. Womens are generally kept away from decision making.

So where did all this started, where is all this rooted?
Our society is based on the morals of our religion. Basically, our present attitude towards women streams from our religious scriptures which refer to women as contempt.

Islam treats women as slaves. All the rights over a woman lays with the man to which she belongs. Women are men's possessions.
The very basic relationship between man/woman in Islam widely practiced and strongly/clearly defined is: -
1. Men are guaranteed a higher degree of right over women.
2. Man can have more then one wife.
3. Man can divorce a woman just by saying "talak" three times for no reason.
4. A woman once divorced has to get divorced from another man so as to reunite with her previous husband.
5. Men have authority over women on account of God given qualities with which he is to excel over her.
6. Women are deficit in many ways. (Sahi Bokhari, many Hadises).

Hinduism isn't also that good.
Oldest book are the 'Vedas' which contain highly objectionable and condemnable passages concerning women.
1. 'Sati pratha' (custom of burning the widow with the body of her husband)
2. 'Dasi Pratha' (keeping the slave girls)
3. 'Niyog Pratha' (ancient Aryan custom of childless widow or women having sexual intercourse with a man other than husband to beget child)
4. Birth of a girl is still not appreciate.
5. Married woman should wear a necklace (mangal-sutra) to show she is married, whereas a man has do nothing.
These are among cruel customs responsible for the plight of the women.

The norms are always set against women.
