Here's Why Blaming Women As Home Wreckers In Extra Marital Affairs Is Wrong

We always blame the woman right?

Before you raise your brows and get carried away, hold that thought. If a man and a woman break up or get separated, how is it a fault of another woman all the time? Why we as Indians always label them as the ‘Home Breaker’, ‘Other Woman’, ‘Mistress’? 
Aren’t separation and divorces ultimately based on mutual consent? A lot of couples do separate because they want to move on with someone else and perhaps find separation the only dignified way of ending a difficult relationship. The nation and especially the media need to stop manufacturing consent among people that it’s always the fault of the other woman.

For instance, the latest most disgusting representation of a divorce was about Himesh Reshammiya and his wife Komal. TV actress Sonia is being brought in the way of this 22-year-old marriage and an appalling headline on a leading website read, “Meet Himesh's Lover Sonia Who Broke His Marriage. Is Himesh Getting Ready To Marry Her?”

And if you think it’s just one example of this kind of misrepresentation, here’s another horrifying piece. “Shilpa Shetty a homewrecker?” reported another website when her husband Raj Kundra divorced his first wife Kavita. While the stars are not very often seen giving clarifications on their personal matters, as sensitive as a divorce, it’s inexcusable to call her a homewrecker. If a man finds solace in another woman and files for a divorce, forget the third person, even the couple undergoing this process isn’t answerable! Not to forget, you don’t clap with one hand, do you? Shaming a woman who has become the potential life partner of a confidante of a man who is already married shows our sick mentality.

Yes, there are the so-called second and third wives clubs, but have we ever talked about what went wrong with the man? Do we blame them for philandering and infidelity? When we do, all headlines are based around the woman in question. 
Sridevi is a part of the list titled ’10 Bollywood actresses who became home breakers’. She is said to have dated Mithun Chakaravarty and then she shifted to Boney Kapoor’s house who was already married to Mona Kapoor (Arjun Kapoor’s mother). She is also rumoured to have tied rakhi to him, but all we know is Boney married Sridevi and divorced Mona. The duo has two beautiful daughters Jhanvi and Khushi. Here, whatever might be the story, how valid is it to call Sridevi a home breaker? Wasn’t Boney equally involved in the relationship? Is breaking homes a cake walk and so is labeling women for that?

Similarly, Bipasha Basu and Kangana Ranaut were blamed for breaking the marriages of KSG and Hrithik Roshan respectively. The two men in question here were already linked with other costars from their serials and films and these women who just happened to be in the limelight garnered all the abuses for their breakups.

Bipasha came out as a classic example when she defended KSG on being his third wife and how she genuinely loved him.
The point here is the misrepresentation of a woman, every time a relationship bites the dust, why is the woman blamed? Something the nation really needs to think about right? Even Arnab can’t do much now.
