Its all happning wrong in Bihar is mostly due to illeterecy. You can also notice the lowest rate of literecy in Bihar women. As long as they remain illetrate, they can't explore the dignity of life. Its only the true education which can eradicate such menance from Bihar. In some part of Bihar, its also believed by the Wives that whatever their husband do for/against them, its their luck, and they have no option to protest. Ofcourse poverty also contributes a little for this. Femal are not self dependant in Bihar. But gradually the figure are changing with the governance of Nitish governmet.

It is very sad thing, this is due to orthodox Patriarchal mindset. Recently an woman sitting ruling party MLA got thrashed by her husband.

The only good thing is that Bihar has low divorce rate

It is bad for one to beat one's wife. It is also bad to beat one's children. All these years I have never beaten my wife. Why! we never had even hot exchange of words.

But I watch TV  serials. Sometimes I have seen the woman has such an acid tongue and the husband  such a timid creature that on occasions I get so much annoyed that I feel like getting into the idiot box and give the woman a sound thrashing. But wait Roshniji, I dont claim men are angels. In one serial there was a newly married couple. The husband was so jealous and suspicious that he was naming each of his wife's male acquaintances and questioning what was her relationship with each one. At first it was sharp questioning, then it turned into wild allegations. Finally he beat his wife black and blue. I got so worked up that I shouted at the husband " do you know that there is one Section 498A." I joined this club last September and now I know what Section 498A can do. Anyway that was not the reason I was not beating my wife.
