Delhi High Court strongly criticized the outdated view of women as property while deciding a 2010 adultery case. Referring to Draupadi from Mahabharat, the Court highlighted how such thinking still haunts society.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday (April 8th) took suo-motu notice of an incident in which a woman was allegedly assaulted and paraded semi-naked by her son’s in-laws in Tarn Taran and said it reminded of the ‘Chirharan of Draupadi’ at the behest of the Kauravas in Mahabharat.
