2025 has unveiled a chilling trend – an alarming rise in brutal husband murders, often orchestrated by wives and their lovers. These may be isolated incidents but the pattern echoes a deeper societal crisis that’s largely ignored: the silent suffering of men in toxic relationships.

In Bijnor, a man was strangled by his wife simply because he refused to move to the city. In Auraiya, a woman conspired with her lover just two weeks into marriage to eliminate her husband. Meerut witnessed a horrifying case where a husband’s dismembered body was hidden in a cement-filled drum by his wife and her paramour.

The tragedy doesn’t stop there. In Jaipur, a man was set ablaze after discovering his wife’s affair. Haridwar reported a case where a Gurdwara sevadar was strangled and dumped in a canal. Korba saw a wife confess to killing her husband due to long-term abuse—but even this points to a need for deeper understanding and mental health support on both sides, not murder.

These stories are not just headlines, they are screams from men who had no recourse, no safe space, no help. Men’s abuse, suffering, and domestic violence remain taboo topics in our social discourse. The law, media, and society often refuse to see men as victims.

If roles were reversed, the outrage would be thunderous. But when it’s a man lying cold in a morgue, silence prevails.

This is not about man versus woman, it’s about justice versus ignorance. It’s time we stop trivializing men’s issues and start acknowledging that their pain is real. Behind every murdered husband is a story that was never heard. Let’s start listening, before more lives are lost in this deafening silence.
