Day in and day out, reports about men killing their wives either due to frustration, or infidelity or non co-operation by their wives are coming. While murder cannot be justified due to any reason and a snuffing away of a life is most heinous a crime, but the point of contention is not the murder, but reason as to why such murders are happening.
The saddest part of fact is the way these matters are presented. It has to be borne in mind that all those who have murdered their wives were well educated and fully aware of the consequences of murdering someone. Yet they have decided to take the extreme step. This only showcases the frustration men in general and husbands in particular are feeling not only due to increased and continuous harassment from their wives but also from the society which also comprises of the media and the Government and their attitudes towards men.
While the reasons that drive men to these extremes are either conveniently ignored or presented shabbily, the crimes are glorified creating a male hatred in the society which is forming a cloud of insensitivity over a man's problems. On one hand, the society expects men to deliver their duties as per the traditional roles of a Protector and a Provider and on the other hand, it refuses to give them basic rights in a marriage. Every man knows that the day his wife complains about him whether true or false, he is going to face the flak, and this thought itself is the foundation of the ‘Cornering'.
In a country where adulterous wives are considered victims and adultery is a reward earning option for women, a man is left with very less options but to murder his wife and the murder is thoroughly unjustified yet happening. It is an alarming trend and the society needs to take note of this before more and more men turn into ‘Baazigars'. Like the Shahrukh Khan starrer bollywood flick wherein he decides his own justice for the injustice meted out to him.
Similarly if men's problems are not taken seriously, if men are given their due basic rights in a marriage, if men are not provided with the much needed communication channel from the society which includes the media and the Government, if men are not heard, if men are protected and if male-hatred is not stopped, more and more such news of men taking the law in their hands are going to become the norm of the day.
Once again the choice remains with the society, whether it wants MEN or BAAZIGARS?
