Asking wife to cook properly not ill-treatment: Bombay high court

孟买高等法院：要求妻子好好做饭不属于虐待行为

MUMBAI: Asking one’s wife to cook properly or to do household work would not by itself amount to ill-treating her, the Bombay high court has said. The court made the observations while upholding the acquittal of a Sangli resident and his parents, who were accused of driving his wife to commit suicide in a 17-year-old case. The prosecution had claimed that the woman had consumed poison as she was ill-treated and she suspected her husband of having an illicit relationship with another woman.

孟买：孟买高等法院称，要求妻子好好做饭或做家务本身并不等于虐待她。法院在维持对一名桑伽利市居民及其父母无罪释放的判决时，发表了上述言论。在一宗拉锯了17年的案件中，他们被控导致妻子自杀。控方声称这名女子因受到虐待而服用毒药，并怀疑她的丈夫与另一名女子有不正当关系。

“Telling the deceased to cook properly or to do her household work properly, by itself, would not mean that she was ill-treated. There is no further evidence to show that the treatment was of such a nature which would fall under harassment or abetment of suicide sections of the IPC,” said Justice Sarang Kotwal. The judge said that the prosecution had not furnished any evidence to prove that the man was in a illicit relationship. “The prosecution has not examined any other family member who could have thrown light on this aspect. In fact, these allegations do not travel beyond the realm of suspicion and therefore, none of the accused can be held responsible for the same.”

法官Sarang Kotwal称：“要求死者好好做饭或做家务本身并不意味虐待她。没有进一步的证据表明，这属于印度刑法典条例规定的骚扰或教唆。”法官称控方没有提供任何证据证明这名男子有不正当关系。控方未审查任何其他能说明该问题的家庭成员。事实上，这些指控属于怀疑，因此，被告无需对这些指控负责。

The accused, Vijay Shinde, and the deceased had married in 1998. As per the complaint, she had complained of being regularly scolded by her husband and in-laws for not cooking properly or doing household work. Hours before she committed suicide on June 5, 2001, the woman’s grandfather and maternal cousin had visited her matrimonial house and found the couple quarrelling. The grandfather had pacified the couple, but later received a message that his granddaughter had consumed poison. The HC pointed out that the complaint had been lodged the next day as on the day of the death the witnesses had not told the police about any problems.

被告Vijay Shinde和死者于1998年结婚。死者曾抱怨自己经常被丈夫和公婆责骂，说她没有好好做饭或做家务。她于2001年6月5日自杀，在自杀前几个小时前，死者的爷爷和表妹到她家做客，发现这对夫妇正在在吵架。爷爷安抚了这对夫妇，但后来收到消息说他的孙女喝了毒药。高等法院指出，申诉是在第二天提出的，因为在死亡当天，证人没有向警方交代任何问题。

“The trial judge has rightly held that the FIR was lodged as an afterthought,” said the HC, adding, “The quarrel, if at all it was there, was of not such a serious nature which would have driven the deceased to commit suicide.”

高等法院表示：“主审法官的判决是正确的。就算真的发生了争吵，也不至于导致那么严重的后果，会导致死者自杀”

Marriage is a crime for men. Women keep filing false cases on men. Women can hit, use slang etc that time it's not ill treatment but husband not waging tail becomes a crime. Shame on such anti men laws. All men must unite against this misandry.

对于男人来说，婚姻是罪恶。女人总是对男人提起虚假指控。女人可以随便打骂男人等等，而这不属于虐待，但是丈夫如果这么做就成了犯罪。这种针对男人的法律真是可耻，所有男人都必须团结起来反对这点。

Internet in one hand and knowledge of a couple of English words have illusioned a lot of women that they are superior than 99% of the mankind and idiotic videos over the internet about "empowerment" has made the matter worse. Sadly, this has now crept in the pious institution of marriage where women want a royal treatment before, during even after they brutally assassinate the marriage but are not willing to do anything in return!

互联网和掌握几个英语单词让很多女性都觉得自己比99%的人都优秀，而互联网上关于“赋权”的愚蠢视频让情况变得更糟。可悲的是，现在这种情况已经悄然发生在虔诚的婚姻制度中，在这种婚姻中，女性想要得到王室般的待遇，甚至在她们残忍地扼杀了婚姻之后，却不愿意做任何补偿！

Many parents of girls dont teach them anything at home , manners, discipline, knowing to cook normal meals , and arrange the house etc. Both the husband and wife together had to do the work in the marriage but you will find many girls dont know anything or never did anytging at home and dont know even to make proper tea and how much to put sugar and so make the marriage a misreable relationship. Does the husband should not get even a cup of tea made by the wife properly atleast one time even if the husband does his own tea every other day. what nonsense this girls and the nonsense parents fighting for in the court for this type of girls brought by them without teaching anything and then they just grow up like animals.

很多女孩的父母在家里都不教她们任何东西，礼仪、教养、做饭，做家务等等。夫妻双方都要一起做家务，但是你会发现很多女孩在家里什么都不知道干或者从来没做过，甚至不知道如何泡茶，不知道该放多少糖，因此使婚姻成为一种可悲的关系。那些在法庭上为她们争辩的父母简直太荒谬了，他们没有好好教养自己的女儿，什么都不教，让她们就像动物一样长大。

Women have magical charms besides their physical charms. Even after her death, the wife was able to charm the polish into arresting her husband and in-laws, who are innocent. Many people have committed suicides with out dragging their families or in-laws into judicial courts.

除了身体魅力之外，女人还有其它魔力。即使在她死后，这位妻子仍然能够让她的无辜的丈夫和公婆被捕。然而许多人自杀后，并没有把他们的家人或姻亲拖上法庭。

If Asking women to cook and do household chores is not ill treating than women demanding to build separate house with husband without in laws and demanding rich and well settle guy for marriage and expecting husband to earn more money for there family should not be ill treating as well...............

Waiting for people to called me Feminist

如果要求女性做饭和做家务不是虐待的话，那女性要求不和公婆住在一起，要求和有钱人结婚，希望丈夫能为家里挣更多的钱也不属于虐待.....

坐等别人叫我女权主义者。
