Going through numerous articles on CJI Gogoi sexually harassing a woman employee in his office I got the impression that she simply wishes herself to be the judge of her own case or at least she wanted to appoint judges of her own choice on the panel, or she would cry foul. Astonishing!
The clubbed and fabricated system which made women sacrosanct and men the devil incarnate must go under scrutiny. Time and again women atrocities on men and his other family members have surfaced but of no avail. There seems to be a deeper conspiracy to spoil the entire social fabric by destroying the family system. It may be a ploy on the same line as ‘divide and rule’ which may be termed as destroy and rule. When there is no concept of family, which can only be possible in the absence of a woman, the entire society will be unhinged. Today’s so called liberated woman is creating a havoc. She is liberated to become the slave of her whims, fancies, and an illusory glamour. She just knows to run after them, bulldozing everything that comes her way.
I’m asking the so called great upholders of an extra-mile justice to women:
Did you watch the video clip of a small girl posted on Facebook accusing her nani, Kiran Bedi, to stop harassing her father? Do have an iota of doubt in the sincerity of that innocent girl? Or you are turning a blid eye to that just because it is about throwing you and your ilk out of business. There is a group of some enthusiasts called Lady Finger which has been crying hoarse over women’s issues. I ask them did you finger yourselves you Lady Finger torch bearers watching this video clip?
How many of such cases are there pending with the courts spoiling thousands of families around the world? Just visit any small court of law and you will find a huge number of such cases. Most of them trash, fake and fabricated.
A very senior woman professor of law, who recently got retired from Jamia Millia Islamia, having had the honor of being a VC of a university also, observed in her class full of boys and girls (my son being one of them) made a very strong statement that in most cases women are the harassers and men sufferers, where in the event of judgment against women men usually condone them despite all sorts of tortures inflicted on them.
When shall we rise against these atrocities on men? How long shall we go on giving them passes of being naive and sacrosanct?
This woman in question who has implicated the CJI has been taking the full advantage of being a woman, and the prevailing judicial system of tilting the balance in favor of women. Don’t you think time is important in cases? Is it wrong to question her for the delay in raising the issue? How can you say that this or any woman in similar cases did not take the advantage of her womanhood? Who knows if she had laid a honey trap on these men? Are women not into the business of entrapment of men who matter at the behest of powerful lobbyists? Who should be held guilty in case of that? Do women not lure men? Is it only men who run after men? Are all women born saints? Does the entire pack of these hounding dogs believe so? Is it a rocket science to understand that it’s quite easy for some unscrupulous women to lure men and then vilify them having used them over a period of time, or may be that she was able to use him up to certain level beyond which she couldn’t so she made the fuss of it?
I know a young woman, in collusion with her mother, who posed as her elder sister, entrapped a young dynamic enterprising engineering graduate, keeping the entire male members of the family in the dark, to finance the expenses of the study of the girl in a private medical college throughout her study period, posing as a fiancée, and then leaving him in a lurch, the family got her married to a doctor, who lived in UK.
This is not a fairy tale. Our mentality of women all right and men all wrong gives rise to such cases. Why do women get exploited for years on the promise that he will marry her? How would you deny it being a live in relationship? Why this duality of the court of law should exist? Why do courts allow a live in relationship? How can you distinguish between a live in relationship and the exploitation of a woman, if she cries foul? Do you have any set of rules for that? Well, the courts allow for consensual affair. Agreed. This consensual affair may be in lieu of a favour. If that demand of favour crosses the limit and he says no to that how can these ‘Fingerites’ distinguish it from being exploitation? How would the court decide such cases? What would our Women’s Commission say in this regard? Are such cases weird to our society? When shall we, as responsible citizens, take cognizance of that? We must do something ere the damage becomes irreparable.

Entrapment is very common nowadays. It is being used to control affluent and powerful people. Unfortunately, it is preying our society.
This is an excellent article and it reflects the perturbable condition of the present society.
Mere questioning without providing even a few practical solutions is wasting time and effort!
Emapthise with the pain though!
Prophet Mohammed peace be upon him provided all the solutions and deterrents to all these maladies….but only western women are wise enough to research, accept them and benefit immensely in life.
In Islam, to convict for alleged rape or adultery from either sex—there have to be 4 eye-witnesses—otherwise case doesn’t stand in the learned court, it is dismissed….
No ”Me–too” after few months or years can be allowed in Islam.
But can’t apply divine law in modern capitalistic nations.
