Can we really blame the beta Indian men? Before an article was posted here that pre marital sex in India is considered to be a binding marriage by the courts. And now this. I took this from Wall Street Journal, it's right at the front page today. I've copy/pasted the article for those interested:

Indian Rape Law Offers Desperate Last Resort

NEW DELHI—It wasn’t going to be a fancy wedding, just a civil ceremony at the courthouse. Still, Rajni Gautam was elated finally to be marrying the man she loved—and the father of her unborn child.

The groom failed to show, however. Ms. Gautam says she phoned him, and her heart sank. “I heard the sound of a train.”

Her husband-to-be had taken off.

So later that week, Ms. Gautam says, she did the only thing a woman in her position could do: She filed a rape complaint against him.

“I didn’t have any other option,” says Ms. Gautam, who is 26, and who was two months pregnant when this happened late last year. She hoped to force him to come back and go through with the marriage.

Across India, police and women’s advocates say they are dealing with a flood of rape complaints like Ms. Gautam’s. No one keeps a tally, but the cases are common enough that police in the capital city of New Delhi have a special term for them: “false promise” complaints, referring to men who promise marriage in hopes of persuading a woman to agree to sex.

Young women in India are gaining far greater social freedoms—to work, to study, to date—than in the past. However, for large parts of the population, tradition still holds that premarital sex is an absolute no-no with harsh consequences. Pregnant, unmarried women in particular may suffer ostracism from families, a sole avenue for support, as well as harassment.

Paradoxically, filing a rape complaint to try to secure a marriage is one of the few tools these women have to achieve social acceptance. Interviews nationwide with more than two dozen law-enforcement officials, lawyers and women’s advocates, as well as women who themselves used India’s rape law this way, suggest the practice is relatively common. And it is legal, as courts have ruled.

India is the worst place to be a woman, studies indicate. Worse than Afghanistan.

At the same time, it is also the worst place to be a man.

May God help that country.

It has a lot of problems in the male - female dynamic. God help you if you're an untouchable, you basically are a sex slave for the higher castes.

Actually no, you are not. Don't mind me asking but where did you get the information that prompted you to make such a statement? I'm going to chalk this one up to ignorance but next time don't address a topic without prior knowledge. Do you consider poor people in America sex slaves to rich people?
India has a lot of problems and there is no need to make one up. The fullest extent that the statement is true is that sex slaves and prostitutes consist mostly of untouchables. Hope I don't come off too aggressive but such unsubstantiated remarks do not add anything, rather they hurt by providing false information about a country.

Doesn't that story give you a little more compassion for IRT? I'm not saying it's nearly enough to warrant welcoming him back with open arms.

Do not deface the IRT's hallowed mug with your feminist propaganda. "Sex slaves" are a laughable feminist meme and are vanishingly rare in India, as well as everywhere else.

India may have its problems but they will not solved by Year Zero "rape laws" and similar unhinged measures.

An old topic but I'd still like to know what happened to the couple? Did the man return to marry her or was he thrown in jail?
