Enough of the Crocodile Tears... Enough of the Hypocrisy...

Enough of the Crocodile Tears...🐊 Enough of the Hypocrisy...😪

By now, you all would’ve heard about Ridhanya’s s*icide over dowry abuse. 💔

And people are saying, “A divorced daughter is better than a dead daughter.” Indian men are clamoring for justice, slapping hashtags like #JusticeForRidhanya. 🙄

I don’t buy that one bit.

Not too long ago, there was an episode on Tamizha Tamizha about divorce. It was gut-wrenching. 💢 The very same men who tore into divorced women on that show—questioning their morals, shaming their choices—are now preaching justice?

They’re everywhere.

And don’t think women are absent in this cruelty—they’re in the front rows too. 😤

If Ridhanya had divorced, you think this society would’ve let her live in peace?

• She would’ve been called “vaala vetti” 🗣️
• If she dated someone, she'd be labeled shameless 💔
• If she dressed up, she’d be scrutinized 🧐
• If she chose to live independently, she'd be called every name in the book 🏠💔
• If she dared to remarry, tongues would wag, lips would whisper, stomachs would burn 🔥💬👀

Now, everyone’s saying she was “gorgeous.” If she had divorced, do you think men would’ve respected her boundaries?

No. We have entire idioms created just to sexualize and shame divorced women. 💀
Consent? Who cares.

And all this is done under the banner of “Indian culture.” Like Thalapathy says in Endrendrum Kadhal

"In our culture, a woman must marry once and stay till death. Doesn’t matter if he’s a monster—she must endure."

👏👏👏

Oh, only her parents told her to “adjust”? What about the rest of us, who keep glorifying “forbearance” in the name of womanhood?

Let’s talk about the men equating alimony to dowry. 🙃
If Ridhanya had reclaimed her dowry—the Volvo, 800gms of gold, the ₹2 crore wedding—you would’ve said:

“She made a business out of marriage.”

STFU. Now. 🔥

The real danger isn’t the ones who say, “Dowry is culture, divorce is a sin.”
It’s the ones who sound progressive, who pretend to care, who switch their tone based on the trend—
Forked tongues masked as empathy.

Because if our society truly lived by,
“A divorced daughter is better than a dead one,”
Ridhanya would be with us today. 💔🕯️
