An increasing number of women have been refusing to own the responsibility of their children after divorce, bringing forth the changing facet of the idolised Indian mother.
The district police-run women cell has been getting cases wherein women are pouring in with a demand for separation. “In many cases, we have seen women having extra-marital affairs and leaving husband as well as children for the sake of the other man. Sadly, family is last thing on their list of priorities,” pointed out a sub-inspector at the women cell.
The cops pointed out that law favours women more and the women have started exploiting it.
“At the Bathinda Central Jail, many female undertrials are those who have been accused of killing their daughters-in-law or for abetting suicide. In a few of these cases, the females from in-laws’ family have been trapped by the girl’s family to avenge the death of their daughters,” said the jail authorities.
