such cultures where a wife worships her husband and fasts or prays for his well being.?

Question

I know about India where wives worship their husbands. they fast on karwa chauth day each year to pray for him and express her love for him. I seek to know about similar practices around the world cultures

Answer 1

It happens only in India! Other places you will find it happening only where traditional Hindu Indian families live & carry forward such Indian culture not otherwise. In other western culture such husband worshiping is not in practice as it is only the Hindu philosophy that talks of such fasting & worshiping of husbands by wife not in any other religious philosophies.

Answer 2

I just had lunch with an Indian girl here in Delhi and she told me the same thing. But she was given a significant diamond ring as a present from him because of this fasting for her husband. Not bad for one day off food and drink!

Answer 3

I dont think it is practised elsewhere other than India.... sorry!! but some r not worth it...why r some men cruel towards the lady who worships them????

Answer 4

not my culture. in other cultures (indian and asian), the wife is also seen walking BEHIND the man, everywhere they go. i say hell no to that. women aren't inferior, and don't need to worship their husbands. appreciate them, yes. love and respect them, yes. but worship them? nope

Answer 5

All of my wives do it for me daily. I feel like a million bucks!!!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Unfortunately many educated Indians are also ignorant and unaware of Indian laws, lives, culture, thoughts, traditions, etc. The wife having sexual intercourse with anybody else (with his consent) is never considered a wrongdoer & she cannot be punished or even prosecuted for her such sexual intercourse with other/s of her choice, in any Indian law under any head, eg. abetment, conspiracy, inducement, common intention, etc. Till date no High Court (and Supreme Court) ever punished such wife for sexual intercourse with other/s, since Indian laws do not consider her such act an offence or wrong. Live in India as an Indian, respecting its laws, culture and thoughts, etc. Muslims alone believe it as their faith as an offence punishable with death by pelting stones. None can be compelled to accept that Islamic concept of adultery. No other sacred holy book even termed it an offence. When Gods & Goddesses had such extra marital relations then why their followers & believers should be restrained from it.

Section 497 Indian Penal Code is copied below:

"497. Adultery.—Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or with both. In such case the wife shall NOT be punishable as an abettor."

Section 497 unequivocally conveys that the adulteress "wife" is absolutely free from criminal responsibility. She is also not to be punished (even) for "abetting" the offence. Section 497, by necessary implication, assumes that the "wife" was a hapless victim of adultery and not either a perpetrator or an accomplice thereof. Adultery, as viewed under IPC, is thus an offence against the husband of the adulteress wife and, thereby, an offence relating to "marriage".

Premarital, extramarital or unwed sexual activities are not barred or prohibited hence no offence punishable in any Indian law. A wife’s sexual intercourse with other/s is also no offence, hence no prosecution or punishment to her. Even her sex partner also cannot be punished, if was unaware of her wedlock or had sex with consent or connivance of her husband. Her husband alone can prosecute him but not the police, court or the wife. After divorce also her earning husband has to maintain or pay till she remarries (if unable), even if she is permanently & continuously enjoying sex with all other/s. Pre marital sexual intercourses with other/s cannot be a ground to seek divorce under Hindu/Special Marriage Act. Thus a female’s physical sexual relations with persons/s of her choice (with their consent) is not an offence or prohibited / barred in any Indian law and she is at liberty to enjoy the sex freely and fearlessly. A male’s physical sexual relations with any 16+ female (with her consent) is no offence or barred / prohibited in any Indian Law, unless she is in the wedlock of somebody else and is done knowing her wedlock or without her husband’s consent or connivance. Courts have to believe that children born during the wedlock are her husband’s legitimate ones. He is bound to maintain or pay their expenses; till sons are 18+ and daughters are married. Prostitution (commercial sex trade, offering sex for monetary gain) alone is an offence punishable in Indian laws.

All unwed sexual activities (pre post extra marital), perverted & homosexual acts are specifically forbidden only in Islam in very clearly written unambiguous words as great sins & heinous crimes punishable with publicly lashing / death by pelting stones, etc.
