seriously though the title is misleading in the sense that the rjhinds types will jump on hindus and say how violent they are. They are not.
Originally posted by karoly aczelThe idea that Hindus are not violent is ludicrous. There is not only a prevalence and almost cultural acceptance of domestic violence, but communal violence, caste violence, religious and political violence.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIf you are concerned about domestic violence why do you so often hold up marriage in India (and its supposedly admirable low divorce rate) as some sort of go-to paragon whenever divorce or marriage discussed? Surely you must know about the levels of domestic violence that are tolerated in India?

Originally posted by FMFWhy? because it has one of the lowest divorce rate in the world. Are you saying that the divorce rate is so low because of domestic violence, if so where is your evidence? if not then stop slobbering, you're an embarrassment.

Nearly 2/3 of Indian men believe women should tolerate violence to keep the family together. This from a country which doesn't even recognise marital rape.

What 70 percent of men believe is not actual evidence that divorce is low because of domestic violence, is it, it simply a statement saying that 70 percent of men believe something, next you will be citing eight out of ten cats prefer kitticat therefore its the best cat food. Logically fallacious and bogus my spangled friend.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieLet me get this straight, in India it is perfectly legal to rape your wife, domestic violence is culturally acceptable, honour killings are fairly common place, so is the heinous act of burning women to death or, bride burning, a women is on average raped every 3 minutes and you don't see how this can have any effect on divorce rates?

Tell me why you think divorce rates are so low in India, if it's not due to the fact women are likely to suffer from extreme physical violence and possible/probable death (depending on which part of India you are from) from requesting a divorce, what do you put it down to?
Originally posted by Proper KnobI think its because they have a different perspective about marriage that it should be for life.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHow do you feel about shockingly high rates of domestic violence against women who do not have the economic wherewithal, independence, social status or cultural support to be able to get divorced and therefore cannot escape the violence? Please do not go into a comedy routine based on pretending not to understand the issue, robbie. This is a nasty enough real issue without you trying to make some nasty attention-seeking, catchphrase-strewn comedy out of it.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieAnd so, countless millions of women are trapped in violent marriages "for life" because of "different perspectives". It's not something anyone can draw anything positive from, unless they are some sort of oblivious ideologues.
