Legal Precedent: 'Darling' Equals Harassment.!
Justice jai Sengupta asserted that women, including wives, have their self-esteem, and using endearments like "darling" should be based on the individual's preferences. The judge emphadata-sized that such expressions should be used with respect and consideration for a woman's sentiments and dignity. The ruling implies that calling a woman "darling" without her consent is an offense, regardless of whether the person is under the influence of alcohol or is the woman's husband.
In this particular case, the accused was sentenced to three months in jail and fined Rs. 10,000. The court's decision raises awareness about the importance of respecting women's preferences and maintaining decorum in addressing them.
