The Women's survey in India

A recent survey in India collected opinions from a lot of women. One of the surprising findings was that 54% of the women thought it was OK for husbands to beat wives. A revealing fact about the society! Obviously, some attitude-setting is in order.

Another side issue that came up, was the kind of question that were asked. There were fairly frank about sex, sexual partners, extra/pre-marital affairs, and vices. The media made a big deal about how these questions were shaming women. However, unless such surveys are conducted, dark deeds of society lay hidden - these needs to be exposed.

Clearly, the 54% number proves the point.
