Indian Husband Beats Pregnant Wife to Death…for Money
Apparently, in India, it’s still in vogue for some men to view their wives, not as human beings with rights, but as lumps of flesh with a plump purse attached. There’s no other way to explain the actions of Naveen Kumar of New Delhi, who beat his pregnant wife Poonam to death when he was unsatisified with the dowry he netted. Kumar, of course, didn’t mean to kill the woman and his four-months-gestating child; the woman’s condition simply "deteriorated" during the course of her punishment. Congratulations, Mr. Kumar: You are officially the Worst Father of the Week - and your child wasn’t even born yet. Quite an accomplishment. Let us know to which jail cell we ought to send your award.

The even more sad part about that is he, or the members of his family that helped him, probably won’t even go to jail…

This is all too common, I’m afraid…In Pakistan women are trying to overturn a law that says that a rape can’t be procecuted unless it is witnessed by four men..yes, 4, yes men. ‘Nuf said.

In India, every year 22000 men are killed or driven to suicide by their wives. Most of these criminal females go scot free.
Half truths are more dangerous than lies.

“Driven to suicide”? What the fuck does that mean? What do these women do - persistently ask the men to pick their damn socks up off the floor?
Any actual evidence you have about this phenomenon would be great, Sumanth.

Dowry deaths are unfortunately a part of the great India culture that you hear so much about. Most of the men (and their parents!) who perpetrate this crime routinely go scot-free - the police have more important things to do with their time.
And yes…did SUmanth ever come back to you with some stats?
