Judgements and interpretations

My father just received a forward in which many judgements were quoted. They all sounded really bizarre. I could not believe that judges who are supposed to understand the society so well, had given those orders. But on reflection, I found that the forward quoted the judgments without their context. Let me cite a few of them for you to understand. 1. It is wrong to use the word "Darling". I remember one nun in particular who often used the word to replace...thank you. LOL. My father uses it too for me... be a darling bring me that pair of scissors...and so vanny goes and gets the scissors, this happened this morning. Sweetheart is another word that I am kinda so accustomed to that I wouldn't think twice about it. But if it was from an unexpected source, it would be a serious problem. I agree with the judges there. 2. Women may have adulterous relationship and her husband will have to fulfill the duties of a father in respect of the child too. Sounds weird, does it not? The case related to a homosexual man who chose to marry to prevent the world from knowing his sexual orientation. Now the woman does not seem to be so wrong. 3. Attempt to rape is not a crime because it is not a rape. Rape causes serious psychological trauma in the person and requires shrink to intervene...chances are that memories can be revived, and the outlook of the person towards life changes. Attempt to rape is scary but still something that a person can dismiss and forget after sometime, with or without the help of a shrink. Many such judgements forwarded without quoting their context, and I am disturbed. it will give some people wrong ideas. Should judgements be shared without mentioning the context? I don't think so. I need laws for it.

I think it should all be word for word. Attempt to rape may not be against the law but assault is.

@vandana7 ........It is stealing so I would think they could be arrested if it continued.

@celticeagle I am for forcing the person to clean the toilets for one week. And if multiple offenses, compound that...from one week to one month. As far as rapists are concerned, before dumping them in cell, parade them and their family in a cage without any cover on the face. The cage gotta move slowly so that people realize who supported the rapists. And whom not to trust.

It is against the law, but it is often left with admonishing the person.

Extremely disturbing judgements, if the context is not known.

Context can make a huge difference

Absolutely. Judges don't give verdict in yes or no. They also give the verdict at the end of an explanation. So without that explanation...such sharing is so wrong.

I think the context always needs to be mentioned.

Yeah...I felt sorry for the girl, because she was not being given divorce, as he didn't want the reason exposed, and she was being pestered by the society to get pregnant. Our society is like that.
