Whether or not wives have the freedom to love and have sexual relations in personal liberties is a matter of ethical debate. Indian penal law clearly states that a man can be punished for having a relationship with someone’s wife, but if the wife makes a relation with the man, he cannot be punished. In such a case, the husband can divorce the wife.
Marriage gives many rights to each other, but these rights are of mutual agreement and understanding. Society’s job is not to guard them.
Some may find this to be an act of immorality. Still, the truth is that due to this conceit of morality, Sita and Ahilya of the mythological sorrows suffered, and Draupadi suffered insults repeatedly. 3 wives of King Dasharatha are taken easy, but restrictions are imposed on women.
It is wrong for the married woman to hand over all the rights of her body and heart to the man and get only the roof of the house, bread, cloth, and maybe scolding, beating, stress. If someone else attracts the wife due to the husband’s indifference, then society, law, and the employer do not have the right to become the contractors of morality.
The husband’s love depends on the mutual transaction between the two. Just as a young man is not seen by anyone other than a girl while making love, similarly, the girl is despised by all but the lover. Similar behavior should be done automatically in the husband. It should not be imposed.
Only wives should kill their minds, feel guilt towards someone’s desire, laugh at someone, and then kill them while the husband is entirely away. How is this justice? How is moral?
The mistake is actually of religions which imposed a variety of restrictions on women. The paradox is that it is the women who leave their minds, money, and even body in the name of religion. On that religion, which is unjust to women, is tyrannical, is inattentive, is intolerant.
