Bow Down Before Your Wife's Diktat: Supreme Court of India Tells Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'On 19th May, the Supreme Court of India remarked that husbands ought to "Bow down before your wife's 'diktat'".

A vacation bench of justices Markandeya Katju and Deepak Verma observed, "Bibi joh boltee hai woh sunno (listen to whatever your wife says), as otherwise it could land you in trouble. Because if you do not listen to her, you will suffer the consequences."
...
The bench further said that a husband has to accept the suggestion of a wife irrespective of the fact whether it is sensible or not."

Being a founding member of a prominent men's rights organization observing the way men are treated, these views by the Supreme Court are hardly surprising to me. This attitude has been prevalent in almost all courts since many years and it is for the first time that the Supreme Court has said this formally, even in jest.

A modern man can bow down before his wife. There is absolutely no issue with that, after all they share a life together. However, does the matter just end there? In most cases, it may not be only about a husband obeying his wife, but it is also about a husband forced to obey his mother-in-law, his sister-in-law and his father-in-law, whose business in not running well.'
