'No crime should be viewed from gender-based optics': Jaya Kishori on Sonam-Muskan cases

Jaya Kishori advocates viewing crime without gender bias during her discussion on the Sonam and Muskan cases.

'No crime should be viewed from gender-based optics': Jaya Kishori on Sonam-Muskan cases
"No crime should be looked at in the gender-based mould. It is a crime and the person who commits it is a criminal. - Jaya Kishori"

New Delhi, June 27

Well-known motivational speaker and singer Jaya Kishori stressed that no incident of crime should be seen from the optics of gender, while weighing in her views on the recent Raja Raghuvanshi murder case in which his wife Sonam has been named as the prime accused.

During an interaction with NDTV's Subhankar Mishra at 'NDTV Creators Manch', she said any person, irrespective of gender, committing a crime, is a criminal.

She said this while responding to two of the most-discussed incidents of crime -- the 'blue drum' Muskan Rastogi case of Meerut and the recent Raja Raghuvanshi murder case. In both these cases, Sonam and Muskan allegedly killed their husbands with the help of their lovers. The horrific conspiracy in which these two husbands were killed has also raised questions about the system of marriage and the relationship between husband and wife.

At 'NDTV Creators Manch', in the 'Mann Ki Baat, Jaya Ke Saath' session, Jaya Kishori said that marriage means love. She also said that men will have to learn how to live with an empowered woman.

In response to Shubhankar Mishra's question, "what will you say about incidents like husbands being packed in drums, being taken around Meghalaya...", Jaya Kishori said: "How many such incidents have happened? You got so scared by a few incidents! This has been happening to thousands of women for years. Still, we are told that all men are not the same. We are looking for such men."

She stressed that one should look at crime and not at the gender of the criminal.

"No crime should be looked at in the gender-based mould. It is a crime and the person who commits it is a criminal. Whether it is a woman or a man. Crime should be looked at as a crime," she added.

On the importance of money in life, Jaya Kishori said: "It is very important. But you have to understand how to handle money. If someone says that money is not important, then you should donate it."

Answering a question about her marriage, Jaya Kishori said she has yet to find the "right person".

"I will get married as soon as I meet him. The things for marriage (clothes, songs, ornaments, etc.) are ready in a folder in my mobile. I am just looking for a boy," she added.

While I agree crime has no gender, we must acknowledge that most domestic violence victims are women. The system is still biased against women in many cases. Let's not use these rare cases to undermine women's struggles.

The way these women planned the murders is chilling! Shows how toxic relationships can become. Marriage counseling should be made mandatory in India before tying the knot. Prevention is better than cure.

Jaya Kishori makes valid points but I disagree with her comparison. Yes, crime is crime, but women face systemic oppression that men don't. The context matters when we discuss gender and crime.

These cases are exceptions, not the norm. Most Indian wives are sacrificing and loving. Media shouldn't sensationalize such rare incidents and create fear among men about marriage.

The real issue is our legal system's slow justice. Whether it's crimes against women or men, the perpetrators often escape punishment due to delays. Fast track courts needed for all crimes!

Interesting how Jaya Kishori talks about empowered women when she herself is waiting for "the right boy" to get married. Practice what you preach, no? 🤔
