It is natural that the felon feels disheartened by the decision of the jury and the sentence seems unfair and impractical because he has already been dragged to the court and disparaged by the public.
Do we not believe in a fair judgment any more?
Is it the violent retribution that wins the debate over penalization of dark souls?
Let us take the example of a wife who murdered her husband by slipping poison into his morning tea (ladies of the 80’s).
She has been brought before the jury, and the aura of the courtroom is filled with a somewhat similar despondency as it had been a few hours ago during the trial of a pimp accused of drugging his bottom girl continuously for a period of seven years.
So, the trial of the ungrateful wife was interesting. Her disposition seemed to be unaffected by the proceedings, and she failed to show signs of regret.
For her, this manslaughter seemed to be the perfect ending for her husband. He wouldn’t have got salvation otherwise.
Going beyond the fact that her act was not acceptable by the common law of any state, but it was the perfect example of a violent retribution that the husband needed, and the wife desired.
“So, why kill him if he had not been cheating or abusing?” The lawyer sensed an annoying amusement in his tone.
“No, he had been suffocating me with his love. He had to die because I felt like a trophy wife sitting in the corner of the living room all day with no passion left in me. To yell at somebody and to effortlessly ignore the existence of a being, are equally mean.”
And now you might wonder why women prefer to stay with abusive men.
It’s simple, it is much easier to predict the probability of a hit than to predict the thoughts of a man who has two books on his desk with a note — to be read by Thursday; one titled, Why men comprehend situations better than women?, and the other titled Worshipping the Greek goddess.
So, the point being made — she took the task of sanctifying her husband of his sins in her own hands and poisoned him.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Women today don’t want to be in a partnership that complicates their lives further. They need an equal partner with whom they can figure out life as a team, playing by each other’s strengths.
We all are familiar with that one annoying aunty who is more interested in our marital status than in the dessert counter at a wedding. But these aunties have somehow become obsolete now. Now they are replaced by men we have in our lives. Friends, family, and even work colleagues. It’s the men who are worried about why we are not saying yes to one among their clans. What is wrong with us? Aren’t we scared of dying alone? Like them?
A recent interaction with a guy friend of mine turned sour when he lectured me about how I would regret not getting married at the right time. He lectured that every event in our lives needs to be completed within a certain timeframe set by society else we are doomed. I wasn’t angry. I was just disappointed to realize that annoying aunties are rapidly doubling in our society. And they don’t just appear at weddings or family functions anymore. They are everywhere. They are the real pandemic.
Let’s examine this a little closer.
