A COUNCIL in the eastern lndian State of Bihar has banned the use of mobile phones by women, saying the phones were debasing the second atmosphere.

Councillors claimed the use of phones encouraged women to elope. Single women are fined $130 if they are caught using a phone, married women around $20.

The ban has been put in place by Sunderbari council, which is in a Muslim-dominated area in the north east of lndia.

“It always gives us a lot of embarrassment when someone asks who has eloped this time,” said Manuwar Alam, who heads a newly-formed committee tasked with enforcing the ban.

He said the number of elopements and extramarital love affairs had risen in the past few months, with at least six girls and women fleeing their homes.

“Even married women were deserting their husbands to elope with lovers. That was shameful for us,” Alam said, adding, “So, we decided to tackle it firmly.”

Madness? Oh :-O

In this era of globalisation there are some things that are embarassingly stewpid.i guess they will also outlaw sending of e.mails too.msheww.anyway its a village,so they cannot no better

Whenever things go wrong in a society, women are the first target. Some cultures have made women not more than glorified nannies who just come to this world to take care of kids and die in silence. Its ridiculous!

Gender dynamics varies in each culture but its very important to note that women should not be victims of the law. Were these Indian women sleeping with cattles? Ofcourse the women were sleeping with men. Why weren't the men banned from using phones? Yes, because women are weak and easy to manipulate, abi. Shior.

Apart from culture, religion is also one big factor in this. For instance, a simple check on most Islamic nations of the world and one would see that women are subject to some "laws". They really do not have a say. For instance, Saudi Arabia, which is the "holy city" (capital) of the religion, has a law that prevents women from signing for their kids surgery. I mean, your son wants to undergo surgery and your wife is not allowed to sign the papers! Until she receives permission from a male guardian (Husband, father, brother, nephew or eldest son). Can u just imagine? Also women are not allowed to drive, partake in sports, vote during elections, work in selected places. The law also says women be given strokes of cane like men if they flout the law - sharia law. Do you know what that means? A woman simply is born to do nothing but wear aprons in the kitchen,"tamba" for pikin in the toilet and serve men. In Iran, there are courses ladies (students) are not allowed to study in the university. All because they are women, a barrier has been placed upon them. Other religions that also have such laws are causing more harm than good.


Truly, women must be allowed to achieve their dreams and use their talents. They must play their roles at home without being held in any form of bondage.

I hope this sends a message to men who believe women are "weaker vessels/dummies". We must rise above the ills of our culture and religion because women are the salt of the earth. We should let them add spice to our lives and the world at large.



Frawzey.
