Acharya Prashant addresses the disturbing trend of murders within relationships, specifically citing recent cases where young women and their partners conspired to kill their husbands. He argues that these are not the acts of professional criminals but of ordinary people driven to violence by a lack of understanding and a flawed social structure. He critiques the education system and upbringing that fail to teach the true meaning of relationships, focusing instead on early marriage as a mere social obligation. He points out that when young people are forced into arranged marriages without emotional or intellectual compatibility, the resulting frustration can lead to extreme outcomes, especially when there are no healthy mechanisms for separation or counseling. He further explains that the root of this violence lies in a society that suppresses individual choice and prioritizes family reputation over personal well-being. Acharya Prashant highlights the hypocrisy of a culture that claims to be spiritual and loving but practices systemic violence against women through female infanticide, nutritional neglect, and restricted access to education. He notes that the pressure on parents to 'marry off' their daughters as a burden to be shed creates a volatile environment. He emphasizes that true love is not a duty or a cinematic fantasy but requires maturity and mutual understanding. He concludes that unless the foundation of how we perceive relationships and gender changes, such tragic incidents will continue to occur.
