Pathetic: Society Fines Boys For Allowing Girls

For a long time, now, there has been a growing debate about the kind of different standards and regulations that the current society has for women and men. This has now reached a new high point and here is a look into the same.

A recent incident in a Bengaluru residential society has sparked debate after two bachelors were fined ₹5,000 for allowing two women to stay overnight in their apartment.

The society reportedly has a rule that unmarried tenants are not allowed to host overnight guests, even though all residents pay the same maintenance and follow the same general guidelines. The bachelors involved said they were taken by surprise, as they had never been warned about such restrictions earlier.

The fine notice was issued immediately, leaving them feeling singled out and discriminated against simply because they were bachelors.

Once the issue surfaced online, it quickly drew attention and reactions from across social media. Many users criticised the society’s rules as outdated and intrusive, arguing that such restrictions have no place in a modern city known for its youthful and diverse population.

They felt that personal choices inside a rented home should not be controlled by society committees. Others suggested that bachelors often face unfair scrutiny and stricter rules compared to families.

A few people, however, felt that challenging such societies legally may not bring quick results and advised the tenants to consider shifting to a more flexible community. Overall, the controversy highlights ongoing tensions between conservative housing norms and the changing lifestyle of young urban residents.
