Even in these times, a woman who dares to choose whom to love, could end up paying the highest price for it. A young man who was denied the hand of the woman he loved, instead took her life in the most brutal manner. He chopped her body to bits and stuffed it in a suitcase, after she turned down his marriage proposal and got engaged to a another man.

No doubt, rejection is hard to take, but nothing warrants a reaction like this. For years now, women have suffered hugely just for rejecting suitors and proposals. Spurned suitors have simply not been able to accept that the woman they were pursuing did not fancy them too. Women have been victims of revenge crime like acid attacks, stabbings and strangulations, all because they did not reciprocate interest.
