Re: AIDS-afflicted groom arrested for cheating bride

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/7018

AIDS-afflicted groom arrested for cheating bride- Such issues concern human

rights of aspiring spouses, both PLHA and non HIV infects! Does this means that;

1) Whether PLHA should be forced to divulge their AIDS status to all aspiring

spouses,

2) Whether non PLHA have the right to know if their prospective spouse is free

from HIV infection,

3) Whether present IPC provides for penal remedy for such alleged act, under

what provisions have police sent Srihari to the Magistrate?

Be obliged to have esteemed opinion from forum colleagues.

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/7018

It was sad that somebody hid his status because he wanted to get married. It was

certainly cheating on his part. But should we forget our sanity and become

insensitive enough to throw open the person’s identity on an e forum?

Media is hungry for glossy news but we as members of this forum MUST not forget

our ethics. Let us also realize the fact that the person lied because he knew

that otherwise the marriage would not materialize.

This is the irony against which we all need to work rather than “exposing”

people so mercilessly. I am very much sensitive towards the girl but let us not

forget the crisis that the man will NOW face after the “media and e forum

exposure”.

Lets be with people in their sorrows and happiness let us not be judgemental

towards anyone.

In solidarity
