Not at all. Didn't his sass expect a visit from the couple? I'm suggesting he take a short break with his wife to the in-laws. Enjoy the break, see the sights, etc. Before departure, he should tell the missus she can stay at her pekhe for a few weeks if she likes. She won't say no. She'll jump at the opportunity. Ajeet should play it chilled, relaxed, and agreeable while in Punjab. He returns to Mumbai, and then he should wait for the inevitable phone call asking him when he'll be arriving to take his missus home. Checkmate. Don't threaten her, don't verbally abuse, heck, don't even lose your temper. Just explain she needs to get her head out of her behind and start behaving herself or she can stay at her parents' indefinitely. This little play requires nerves of steel. If he blinks, he'll lose. If he sees it through to the end, she'll get the message. Job done. No drama, no jaloos, etc.

I like that strategic thinking....hehehehe

 

Ain't it a shame that two adults can't just talk it our rationally though.... which I know is neigh on impossible between genders in our community. It's still a shame though. 

Women...Venus, Men mars and all that.....

1. the girl is here alone - which will make her defensive

2. she comes from struggle, whereas you come from relative ease - so envy could be an issue also inferiority complex kicks up

3. She may not understand English language fluently or culture (quietness, polite, considerate etc) so feels ill equipped to deal with real world around her.

4. If her posessions are gifts , it is a mistake to just up and convert them , there may have been a sentimental meaning attached to them . Let her decide what she wants to do with them rather than dictating to her.

just ease her into life here by explaining stuff to her , it will be hard no doubt since events have made her cagey but try to hang in there . My bhabhi had similar attitude , very suspicious of everyone's motives for treating her well  , and giving her gifts , talking to her nicely and yes we never asked for daaj or gifts . It was her SIL who trained her to hate her MIL SIL BIL as supposedly we are out to get her . Punjabiyat is such a trap for intelligence , they all end up duffers believing superstitious nonsense

We need to hear and factor in this type of stuff too.

I deplore the dowry system but I wonder if these kind of families sense weakness when a dowry is not demanded from them.

This is exactly what it is. How can you win? Take dowry, and you're a villain, greedy, anti-Sikh, etc. Don't take the dowry, and the bride's family consider the groom and his family to be an easy touch, which then causes the bride to resent the groom for not bleeding her parents dry, and gives rise to niggling issues between various parties. Do people enjoy a boot on their neck, lol?

It seems to be that in Punjabi society there is no room to be virtuous. 

They seem to side with evil because it is seen as strength.

Strength over there is conflated with fear.

There is a Machiavellian saying " if there is choice between being loved or feared it is better to be feared"

Like all things Sikh, the correct course of action is to take a middle path.

That is not to take dowry and be fair but if they step out of line, make sure they understand the consequences of their actions.

Paradoxically, the rabble then flock to holy men who are, to all intents and purposes, docile, spiritual and virtuous. What's the draw of such men if the negative characteristics the public seek in the average man are seen as positives in someone apparently religious? Lol, what a confused bunch.

The Punjabi way of life is shaitani and hera pheri. That's seen as the best way to attain what you want. 

Tbh it's not just punjabis and Indians from back home that are vicious and behave like that. It's people from a lot of 3rd world countries behave like that.

There's this paki guy that lives down my road he used to be in the same school as me. He went pakiland fell in love with a local pind di kudi. Got married to her and then got her a visa so she moved to the UK.  After a few months of being here. While he was out she called the police and said he is abusing her. Police arrested him and took him to the station. They then checked her body and she didnt have a single scratch, they then realsed her husband and when he came home all the gold from the house and several £1000s was all missing!   She never came back home and legged it.  It turned out she already had a lover from the pind in the UK! 

Be careful of these people. 

It's not just southasian culture. My Jamaican friend said that the women fresh from Jamaica are like leeches. They use British Jamaican men for £££ and try to control them. She said they have a bad rep in their community.  She say they call them something like  boatmen   LMAO 

But yeah

I think they may be doing this to cover up their true nature, but using the holy man like a ...err...handbag?

Shouldn't have sold her rings, bro, regardless of whether they were melted and repurposed as a chain. Those were "hers." These small-minded third worlders don't need an excuse to cultivate grudges and create problems. You just gave her a gold-plated excuse to cause trouble and escalate every tiny issue into something bigger.

Take the holiday to Punjab and take her with you. Let her stay for a few weeks or even a few months but you return after a few days. Don't call her. I mean it. See what happens.

Vaheguru ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru ji Ki Fateh

I think they meant that her mom sold her own rings to make her a chain.. Not selling her bahus rings.

Can't believe everyone here is giving advice to the male starter of this thread about dealing with a 'bad and angry wife' when it was in fact him that ruined the poor girl's life by not telling her she was marrying a man who is actually homosexual and doesn't like women.  Angry ??.....man, I'd be effing livid if I was her !!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
