kdsingh80 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 http://www.tribuneindia.com/2011/20110309/punjab.htm#19 Estranged women seek help from Ramoowalia Aman Sood Tribune News Service Patiala, March 8 Gurmeet Kaur from Nabha, who was allegedly thrown out of her house by her husband and has been fighting for her rights for the past 11 years, has no reason to celebrate International Women’s Day today. Another girl Rajbir Kaur, who got married in 2009 in Samana, was allegedly thrown out of her in-laws house when her husband went to England and did not return. She is ever since fighting for her rights to live in her in-laws house. Numerous such women were present in Patiala today to meet and take up their issues with Lok Bhalai Party president BS Ramoowalia. The majority of the Punjab women came here to celebrate the Women’ Day in a unique way, discussing their problems and urging Ramoowalia to take up their matter for speedy justice. Criticising the both the Congress and the ruling SAD-BJP government, Ramoowalia said over 50,000 Punjab girls were fighting for their rights after their greedy in-laws had turned them out of the house for dowry. “Their children have been kept by them and the girls have been told to return to their paternal house. In many cases, despite court orders, in-laws have refused to take them back,” he added. Neetu Rani from Bharatgarh village said she was thrown out of the house with her five-year-old son, as her in-laws were demanding more dowry. “I have been going to police stations, but the police also does not bother to understand me on humanitarian grounds and now my in-laws are threatening me further to withdraw the complain or get ready for consequences,” she said. Blaming the justice delivery system, Ramoowalia said the politicians in the state were least bothered to act and raise the issue and ask the police to speed up such cases. “Instead they give lectures on women empowerment and release advertisements in newspapers. The real Women’s Day will be celebrated only when these women get justice and their legitimate right,” he added. Due to inordinate delays in justice and police attitude, despite numerous complaints, more than 8,000 Punjabi girls and women were forced into flesh trade across the world by unscrupulous travel agents, Ramoowalia claimed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Then what to do? If a woman's parents are no more and her brother feels that their responsibilty is over after their sisters marriage ,then what should they do.Going to some ashram I wasn't judging it but saying it is a really horrible position to be in. When it comes to these things, dowry, in laws, general treatment of females married into a family, step children etc. our lot can behave like a bunch of heartless, cruel, savage animals sometimes. It's not uncommon. Even seen twisted budhiaan in my own family do it. Unless the sister's been a complete and utter biatch herself, a brother should take her home rather than let her roll about like this. We really need to get less jungly as a quom. I know not everyone is like that, but too many are. It's a real shame. It's like our lot have some hard arse streak in them totally devoid of daya. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdsingh80 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) In Indian Culture they say that after marriage in laws home is their home so if they come to their mayaka they become shame for their parents or brothers.Even if some brothers want to keep them then their wives will be the first one to oppose as sister in laws conflict is inevitable. My one of the Bhua did not marry at all and in the days of joint family she was the most hated figure by my chachi's.So problems are everywhere Edited March 9, 2011 by kdsingh80 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
