In search of the ordinary woman

The author tries to search for the correct definition of an ordinary woman and truly convinces the readers of the need to find a definition. When its always either the laws or our common sense that decide on how things happen, for the space for women and dignity to the character of a common woman, too require some changes. Often many people have related women as 'sexual objects', which are incapable of maintaining order and discipline. Though the words 'sexual objects' do not come directly often, several examples show that they come inevitably in this world of biased common-sense do come along. Lady Hale, the only woman in U.K Supreme Court, tells that the judgements can vary widely depending on the judges attitude towards women and feminism. Urvashi Butalia, author of Other Side of the Silence, explains how not only poverty but common sense and memory turn out to be gender-biased. In the report by Justice Verma, it is highlighted that the need to upgrade the mental and social view of men as well as women on the gender-equality as a whole is inevitable. Then, comes the example of a sexual harassment case of Madras High Court, in which the offender was left free as there seemed no reason for the offender to sexually assault somebody. And so on, digging into past can bring up numerous examples, where one will find questioning himself that what is an ordinary woman.
Section 498A deals with the punishments in case of cruelty by husband or his relative towards a woman. The law states that cruelty is when there is danger to life or limb, i.e an extreme case. Well, how does a woman proves her case, when these cruelties occur within the four walls of a house. Then how is it said that it was with her consent. Unless she kicks, scratches, tears apart, or as of recent saying calls her rapers as 'brothers' and shout out loud to 'leave her alone', will it be a rape with consent?
Till where she has to bear and till when she has to prove that she is not a woman who wants to extract money, take revenge, shatter a home, or have sex with anyone. No more can she bear it, we need to stop, and plead for her dignity and praise for her womanhood and above all make this society a respected and safe place for her. She is, so the world is!
