Live-in relationships

The Surpeme Court's comment and the objections raised by Solicitor General Indira Jaisingh on the live-in relationships will pave the way for a new discussion on the relationship between man and woman in the country. It is baffling to note that even the 'highly learned" Judges are illiterate when it comes to treating woman with dignity. Otherwise how an epithet like "Keep" find its place in a judgement.This is born out of a feudal mindset which is still prevalent among the men of all strata.We have synonyms like housewife , prostitutes etc to refer woman both in good and bad context but nothing like these to refer to men of household or loose virtue. The belief that woman is man's, second possession only after animals, seems to influence certain sections even at this IT age.Therefore we need re-defining of the society which is inclusive of women.All the right thinking men and women should come forward to offer their might so that such retrograde judgements shouldn't emerge in a civilised soceity.
