‘Men should avoid marriage’
After this incident went viral on social media, users gave mixed reactions. Some people demanded that if the jewelery did not belong to the wife, a case of theft should also be registered. At the same time, some others said that if it was received in dowry, then the case could be against the husband. One user wrote that in this era it is better for men not to marry. Another user wrote, “If you are a man, don’t get married. Let marriage rates go down significantly. Only when that happens will the government pay attention.
