Ever since the existence of civilization the role of women became evident from the day the spouse started living together. In a male dominated society the role of woman became limited and she remained confined to only giving birth to children and preparing food for him but slowly and slowly with the transformation of societies the duties of women became larger. Almost all religious saints, Sufis Avtars and religious books preached that women are important component of male dominated societies. As per holy Guru Granth Sahib preachings it is recited as ‘So Kyo Manda Akhiya Jis Jammeh Rajaan’ means why we should give bad name to a woman who gave birth to Avtars, Saints Rishi Muni and big people. She is a creator of universe, a wife , a mother , a daughter and all goddesses.
Therefore she deserves all due regards respect ad recognition in the society. There have been occasions where woman headed different countries in the past and still they are occupying highest places in social , political , scientific and sports fields and even in Govt. offices. So they are in no way behind men and hence should not be treated as weaker sex, which of course, is painful and sad state of affairs. This has to be kept in mind that she is such a noble person that she cooks meals for you, washes your clothes, utensils and stands by you in all your ups and down, makes you hero from zero in the family besides giving birth to your children. She plays a pivotal role in the family. Inspite of her huge contributions in the society, it is quite shocking that she is either burnt alive after all what for and why? Male dominated society do not realize that this is not only a sin but also a henious crime. If not going by legal angle, does it seems to be justified ? There have been several instances of bride burning in the past, and there will be such instances in the future as well in case there are no preventive measures in place. Besides, families indulging in such crime should be boycotted socially. As per constitution she has got all the fundamental rights like men in the society. Then on what basis a male is superior to a female. If she gives birth to a female baby, she is considered to be at fault, where as the picture is different when we see it from scientific angle i.e. the birth of a female baby is always due to male chromosomes.
Female foeticide is another crime against the women thereby disturbing the sex ratio.
These issues need to be addressed in letter and spirit by educating the male society through various means either through media, newspapers, introducing syllabus on the subject in the schools, colleges and discussing it in various debates and seminars. Of course, law has its own course to deal with such crimes but before the situation takes ugly turn let us make our younger generation aware of pros and cons of such heinous crimes and live like a faithful, disciplined and trustworthy husband. The freedom to women in carrying out day to day work with men in public places need special attention by law enforcing agency and other law abiding citizens. Rape, molestation in big metropolitan cities has become order of the day. The culprits are let loose after a brief trial by the courts due to poor circumstantial evidences. This encourages anti social elements to raise their ugly heads to repeat the crime. Exemplary legal punishment shall control and check such incidents. Otherwise we shall be losing our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters in the years to come. Moral values towards fair sex shall make strong societies.
The woman is the centre of love and is a sentimental being. She showers love and affection on her family. Her life is based on love and affection. She wants to be loved by others in the family. The more she is loved the more content she will be. Women are self sacrificing. If she comes to know that she is not being loved by anyone she may consider herself a defeated and useless person and will always be gloomy and dejected. Therefore, it can be claimed that the greatest secret of caring for a wife is showing love and affection.
