A questioner brings up the case of Gisele Pelicot, a 72-year-old French woman who, after 50 years of what she thought was a wonderful marriage, discovered her husband had been drugging her for a decade and inviting at least 72 men to rape her. Upon this discovery, she chose to have a public trial, waiving her right to anonymity. Acharya Prashant finds the most remarkable aspect of this incident is not the perversion of the husband or the apathy of the perpetrators, as such things happen all over the world. Instead, he highlights the woman's daring act of waiving her right to anonymity. He explains that victims in such cases, particularly in countries like France, have the right to anonymous court proceedings. By choosing a public trial, she is making a powerful statement. She wants her face to be seen, and she wants the faces of her husband and the 70 other men to be seen. This act, he says, is what is truly remarkable. He elaborates that this woman is challenging the very notion of female honor. Society often links a woman's honor (izzat) to her body, specifically her sexual organs. When a woman is raped, she is considered to have lost her honor, while the rapist's honor remains intact. This, he points out, is a bemusing and absurd concept. The perpetrator is the one who has lost dignity and self-respect, not the victim. The woman in this case is decoupling her consciousness from the social concept of female honor and from her biology. She is asserting that she is neither just her body nor a product of society, but consciousness itself. Her honor is not dependent on how others look at her or what happens to her body. Acharya Prashant further expands on the definition of rape, stating it is not merely sex without consent. If consent is extracted out of fear or greed, the act should also be called rape. He argues that most sexual acts are essentially rape with consent, as they are for recreation rather than liberation. He explains that humans are a liberation-seeking species, and everything, including sex, should be for the sake of liberation. When one is conscious, even sex can be for liberation, which involves choosing the right partner. However, because most people are not conscious, their sexual encounters become mere recreation. He concludes by reiterating that the woman's act of standing up at 72, after 50 years of marriage, and deciding to rebuild herself by facing the facts is a beautiful and clear case of destroying one's ego-based identity and moving towards truth.
