Since ages a section in Indian society has acquired a feudal attitude towards women, they treat them as animals. This class which call themselves as ‘mard’ (male) do not hesitate to abuse their women verbally and even physically. A study, conducted by IIPS, shows 37% women in the state feel that their husbands have right to torture them physically.

Take a look on horrific study on Bihar’s women:


35% women say husband can beat if she neglects house or children.


30% women say husband can beat if she does not cook properly.


29% women say husband can beat if she does infidelity.


56% working women agreed with at least one reason for wife-beating.


The study indeed is alarming. Nyoooz spoke to Bihar MLA to understand the ground reality.


The report indicates that Indian society has to take immediate measures to empower women. Nyoooz TV spoke to noted activist Ranjana Kumar.


All this prevails predominantly because of the upbringing where males are projected as superior to their female counterparts. Where girls are given dolls and boys are given toy guns. There is a need to change the mindset. The need of the hour is to work collectively in the direction of gender equality.
