Background:
What was once a symbol of love,
companionship, and celebration — the honeymoon — is now making disturbing
headlines across India. A new wave of domestic crime has emerged where wives
are allegedly plotting and executing the murders of their husbands during
romantic trips or family vacations. हिंदी में पढ़ें
The shocking murder of Indore
businessman Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya, reportedly orchestrated by
his wife Sonam Raghuvanshi, is one of several recent cases revealing a deeply
concerning pattern in modern marital dynamics.
Recent
Notable Cases:
- Raja Raghuvanshi Case (Meghalaya, June 2025)
- Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi was murdered
on a honeymoon trip in Meghalaya. His wife Sonam confessed to hiring
three hitmen for the act. The murder involved interstate planning and
cover-up.
- Meerut Case – Husband's Body Sealed in Drum
- A woman in Meerut killed her husband with the help of
her lover and concealed the body in a cement drum. The case sparked
national outrage.
- Begusarai Case (Bihar) – Social Media Connection
- In Bihar’s Begusarai, a woman allegedly killed her
husband after developing a relationship on social media. She then filed a
false missing person complaint.
- Bhiwani Case (Haryana) – Body Found Abandoned on Bike
- In Bhiwani, Haryana, a man was found dead with his
body left on a motorbike. Investigation suggested involvement of close
relatives.
Emerging
Patterns and Concerns:
- Increasing trend of premeditated murders during
travel or reconciliation trips
- Use of social media to form extramarital relationships
- Lack of timely intervention from family, community,
and police
Changing
Social Attitudes: The Role of Pre-Marital Relationships
Another alarming concern is the
growing normalization of pre-marital affairs in urban and even
semi-urban Indian society. The attitude of "everyone does it, so what’s
wrong in it?" is gradually replacing traditional notions of loyalty
and emotional discipline.
As a result:
- Many individuals are entering marriages without
emotionally disconnecting from past relationships, especially their
so-called "first love."
- Forced marriages due to family pressure, financial
aspirations, or social conformity
often result in emotional resentment.
- This unresolved emotional baggage creates psychological
instability, especially when one feels trapped in a marriage with
someone, they neither love nor respect.
Such dynamics have become
contributing factors to manipulation, betrayal, and in extreme cases —
violence and murder.
Who Pays the Highest Price?
The greatest victims of such incidents are often honest and emotionally sensitive individuals who value and respect their relationships. As these trends rise in society:
-
Every man and woman begins to be viewed with suspicion.
-
Their behavior, travel, words, and freedom are scrutinized and doubted.
-
Trust is replaced by mistrust, making married life increasingly stressful.
The impact isn’t limited to one household — it is gradually tearing at the fabric of the entire society.
Key
Challenges:
- Lack of proactive family involvement before and after marriage
- Institutional negligence, where warning signs are ignored
- Absence of value-based, dharma-oriented education on
relationships
Not
Just Female Victims — Men Are at Risk Too
While women continue to be
disproportionately affected by domestic violence, there is a growing and
under-recognized population of male victims who suffer emotionally,
psychologically, and physically — and, in some cases, fatally.
These are not crimes of passion —
they are strategic, planned acts of betrayal masked under the guise of
normalcy and affection.
Role
of Society and Institutions:
- Family members often miss or ignore warning signs
- Neighbors and relatives remain silent, choosing not to interfere
- Law enforcement acts only after formal complaints, despite evident danger
What
Must Be Done:
- Stronger community vigilance on unusual domestic behavior
- Mandatory pre- and post-marital counseling, especially in conflict-prone unions
- Gender-neutral domestic abuse laws and support structures
- Immediate investigation into travel-linked complaints
or suspicions
A
Deeper Solution — Cultural and Spiritual Revival
Beyond laws and policies lies a
powerful long-term solution: reviving India’s ancient knowledge and cultural
ethics.
We need to reintroduce an education
system that teaches:
- Vedic wisdom and philosophical grounding
- Dharma (righteousness), duty, and relationship values
- The sanctity of marriage, mutual respect, and emotional
discipline
Such a foundation not only protects
individuals but strengthens the social fabric of families and communities.
Conclusion: Uphold the values
Spousal murders — especially those
disguised as romantic getaways — are not just criminal acts. They are warnings
of moral decay, social detachment, and cultural confusion.
If India is to progress
holistically, we must uphold the values that once sustained our relationships.
Without timely intervention and cultural revival, these trends will worsen.
Now is the time to rebuild marriage
on the eternal pillars of truth, trust, and timeless wisdom.
