From the wife's perspective: Our View : My husband is my God “Pati Parmeshor”, those garbage moral from Bollyhood movies. So she will end up taking care of him despite everything. There will be sad music at the background, and she will be the half widow (may be white sari and smashing the bangles on the floor). American View: She will be tempted to pull the plug and end his life. The equality of sexes, eye for an eye Judeo-Christian belief might influence her decision. But the chances are slim. She'll instead abide with the law and God Damn SOB's case will enter the realm of never ending issue of Church and State. From the social perspective: Our View: Badla...aka Revenge....the mob will kill him in the name of justice and being “Kaalank” in the name of mankind. There might be some julus and tire burning at the street if it is in the city. American View: He will be kept on the life support. The case will be highly debated on major news and media by the religious groups and the liberals. Some states are passing the law of “assisted suicide” and if he happens to be from that state, with the consent of 2 certified state doctors, they can literally pull his plug. His wife will have no saying in that case. You choose.
