happythoughts 0 #1 September 2, 2004 clicky QuoteMen in part of India could face up to three years in jail if they are caught drinking without written permission from their wives. The proposal is part of a women's empowerment campaign in Bihar, reports the Mid-day newspaper. The Bihar Women's Commission says it would liberate women from the mental torture of their men returning home after drinking heavily and 'creating scenes'. The proposed new law is in a 78-page report produced by the BWC which has now been submitted to state Chief Minister Rabri Devi. It argues that wives and children are the worst victims of male-alcoholism and there should be legislation to protect them. "Women must be empowered to save themselves from their drunk men who torture them bodily and mentally. A three-year jail term would be an ideal threat perception for wine-zealots," the report added The Chief Minister's office described the move as 'a revolutionary step'. Written permission from their wives. Time to turn in the guy-card. The last vestige of manhood has been removed. Please sit quietly and only respond with "Yes, dear" when spoken to.

happythoughts 0 #6 September 2, 2004 Quotewow thats kinda messed up, but no more messed up than some of the rediculous laws men impose on women in that country. The whole marriage/family construct is different there. They look at marriage as a marriage of two families, not individuals. I have worked with 4 Indian IT contractors who went through the "traditional" process. While they were in the US, their parents were contacted by other parents of prospective brides. The women would be of similar family background, education, character, and class. The family would "interview" a few and select 5 or 6 and send a folder to the guy in the US. He would select 3 to meet. When he returned to India for 4 to 5 weeks, he would make a selection and get married. He returned to the US married. The husband/wife roles are remarkably structured when compared to the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,584 #7 September 2, 2004 When I lived in Brazil (beginning 1960), my mother had a driver's license. She remembers being stopped once early on, and the policeman asked for her license, then her passport, then her permission slip Apparently there was a rule that a woman had to have a permission slip from her husband to drive, or at least that officer thought so . My dad, of course, gave her a real hard time about it, and kept threatening to remove her permission for years after that Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The husband/wife roles are remarkably structured when compared to the US. I worked with a guy who had just come over from India about two years earlier. He was the most friendly, outgoing fellow you'd care to meet. He soaked up American culture so quickly, it was hard to remember he wasn't raised here. He took the same route to marriage you described. His wife was the most sullen individual I ever met. She always just sat there with a scowl looking like she'd been sucking on a lemon. Since we lived in the same apartment complex, I saw them quite often. One day it occurred to me that I hadn't seen her for a couple weeks, so I asked him where his wife had been lately. "Oh, that bitch? I divorced her and sent her back to India!", he responded cheerfully."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
