Chhattisgarh Woman Tired Of The Constant Remarks On Complexion Chops Off Husband’s Genitals, See How Body Shaming Ruins Lives?
Little do we understand the harmful effects of constantly passing negative comments on someone’s looks, body, complexion, and so on. Especially, in our Indian culture, it is so easy to just casually tell someone, how their appearance does not fit under the beauty standards. It might be easy to say, but then we will never know how the person on the receiving end might take it. In fact, there was a time when I started feeling really bad about myself because I was constantly judged for how skinny I had become. The extreme extent of these apparently casual body shaming comments can really take a toll on your mental health, and one such incident from Chhattisgarh highlights the terrifying effects of this. A woman, approximately in her 30’s allegedly chopped off her husband’s genitals because she was tired of the continuous comments passed by him on her looks.
The case was reported from the Durg district of Chhattisgarh where this sickening incident happened on September 25, Sunday during the dark hours. The accused who have been identified as Sangeeta Sonwani confessed to the crime during the police investigation. The woman who was furious with her husband for constantly calling her dark and “ugly” could not control herself when one night the fight on this took a dangerous turn.

This terrifying incident tells us how badly one’s mental health is affected by such remarks, that a person lost his life. We as a society need to stop setting standards for everything and start respecting individuality. It is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. I wonder what must be going on in that woman’s mind that her rage reached such a point where she lost the rationality of right and wrong.
