Psychologists Decode Absence of Guilt in Husband-Killing Cases
A psychologist named Anuja Kapur is trying to understand why some women who are accused of killing their husbands don't feel guilty or sad.
She looked at three cases: Sonam, who warned her parents about getting married but was ignored; Ravina, who was trying to be independent and famous through social media; and Sushmita, who was asked to quit her job to take care of a child.
The psychologist explains that when people feel like they have no control over their lives and are just seen as caretakers, they might feel angry instead of sad.
This anger can sometimes lead to extreme actions.
Psychologist Anuja Kapur analyzes the absence of guilt in husband-killing cases.
Sonam reportedly warned her parents about forced marriage, which was ignored.
Ravina was pursuing financial independence and visibility through social media.
Sushmita was allegedly asked to quit her job to care for a child, leading to a loss of identity.
Kapur explains that long-term loss of agency can turn resentment into rage.
