Location – Guntur. Marriage – love. Result – murder. Reason – TV volume. There was a time when marriages were sacrosanct. Then, incompatible couples started taking divorces. But the latest trend is that of simply killing their spouse.
There was this story of a divorced husband hacking his wife for getting married again and filing cases on him. There are a slew of incidents where a wife killed her husband or the husband killed a wife in a carefully planned scenario.
The latest incident in Guntur has sent shivers among married couples and those in situationships. Wife Kranti killed her husband Ahmed by stabbing him with a knife. They were married for a year and were living in Tidco Colony.
In a moment of rage, Kranti killed Ahmed after an argument over the television volume. All Ahmed did was to ask her to reduce the volume of television. This led to a fight as Kranti refused to reduce the sound. Then the disaster happened.
Upon further probe, it has been found that Kranthi was married earlier and her past husband was in jail on a case. Kranti developed an extra-marital affair with Ahmed who was a mechanic and have been living together since last year. In the process, they got married.
With relationships getting complex and men and women moving from relationship to relationship, there are all kinds of combinations and permutations in the society these days. It’s not just earlier relationships, there are past marriages which are complicating matters further.
Psychologists, life coaches and social experts say that chasing the dream of a picture-perfect relationship as shown in social media is resulting in big dreams. Then thanks to OTT, anger, violence in relationships is shown as normal.
In the era of situationships, murders or attempts to murder have become the new normal. Scary, but this is the truth. Counseling of individuals and therapy are important to help individuals sort their rage issues. High time, Indians took therapy. At least it will save precious lives.
