Seeking justice in times of regression

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: More than two decades ago, a Maharashtrian woman died by suicide a little over four months after she was married. Death by purported kitchen accident or death by suicide in the first few years after marriage is not particularly shocking in this context, although it should be, and if one does not linger on that sentence, it would simply be a single pixel in a larger picture. In the brief months of her marriage, some of the experiences that the deceased woman was subjected to included: being taunted for her cooking skills, being made to sleep on a carpet, not being permitted to do activities during which she may interact with other people on her own and not being allowed to watch TV. According to her in-laws, the suicide took place two months after her last visit to their village, Varangaon.
