The Good Indian Wife

Despite many advances in India--including quotas for women in the parliament and a female President--women's empowerment here is often sorely lacking.

Case in Point, Prabhu Deva (famous South Indian actor) and his wife: Prabhu Deva is cheating on his wife and refuses to stop.

What's a good Indian wife to do?
No, the answer is not opt for a divorce. The answer is clearly to go on a public hunger strike and burn pictures of the mistress in street protests. Yup, that sounds about right.

Super difficult quiz: which photo below features Prabhu Deva's wife and which one features his mistress?

Not sure if it's the social pressure--how could it be more honorable to be cuckqueaned than divorced? May be the fundamental problem is the legal system.

If divorce (with alimony and child support) were easier, many married women would be much happier. Just like my theory that if suing businesses were easier, customer service would drastically improve in this country.
