In recent times, there has been a growing discourse around the mental well-being of men within matrimonial relationships, as several tragic incidents across the country highlight the need for a broader and more inclusive approach to addressing domestic harassment.
In a distressing incident from Odisha, Ramachandra Badjena, a resident of Kumbharbasta, died by suicide after allegedly facing prolonged mental harassment from his wife. Prior to taking the extreme step, he recorded a video on his mobile phone, stating that he could no longer bear the emotional distress inflicted upon him. He was married to Rupali two years ago, and the couple had a young daughter. According to the Railway Police under the East Coast Division, Badjena jumped from a moving train at Nijighar-Tapang, resulting in his immediate death.
Following his death, Badjena’s parents filed a complaint against his wife, alleging consistent abuse and threats since the couple’s marriage. Despite providing financial assistance, including a loan of Rs 20 lakh to support the couple, the issues reportedly remained unresolved.
This is not an isolated case. In Agra, a software professional, Manav Sharma, allegedly died by suicide citing physical and mental abuse by his wife. Similar incidents have been reported in Karnataka and Bengaluru, where men reportedly took their lives after enduring prolonged domestic harassment. In Bhopal, 25-year-old Abhishek Bachale also ended his life after leaving behind a video message, accusing his wife and in-laws of mental torture.
These cases underline a disturbing trend that has sparked concern among men’s rights groups and mental health advocates. While laws and protections rightly exist to support women who face domestic violence and abuse, experts and affected families are now calling for a more gender-neutral framework to ensure that men facing similar abuse are not left without legal recourse or psychological support.
The tragic outcomes of these cases highlight the importance of early intervention, access to mental health resources, and a legal system that recognizes domestic abuse as a serious issue regardless of gender. Advocates stress that the solution lies not in diluting protections for women, but in expanding the scope of the law to safeguard all individuals equally.
As conversations around mental health and domestic abuse continue to evolve, it is imperative for policymakers, legal experts, and society at large to recognize and address this emerging issue with empathy, urgency, and balance.
