World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Are you retarded?
How did you get "women are being irresponsible" out of "women are being legally raped in their own marriage"?
The whole reason this was in the news is because a woman took responsibility and reported the man for rape... Who was then set free because marital rape isn't a crime in India for some reason.
But I'm assuming you're not gonna understand the context here.
Like it or not, there are plenty of women who are okay with this because their husbands who support it are making money and buying them things.
Fear is an extremely powerful motivator. I'm going to assume you haven't had to deal with that personally before, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but fear in these situations can absolutely cause people to defend their abusers, else they get beaten and/or raped again for not "taking his side". My wife was in that situation in her last marriage; if he wanted sex, she could either just go with it so she didn't get beaten, or she could say "no", at which point he would get angry and rape her anyway.
Being isolated with zero support system and then being shamed (like you're doing) for just trying to survive is what keeps those women in those situations.
They shouldn't be getting with these abusers in the first place. Most women end up in these situations because they value the wrong things.
I go back to my point of "there are plenty of women who are okay with this because their husbands who support it are making money and buying them things."
They chose these relationships. The sooner we can educate more women on why their reasoning for getting with these people is flawed, the sooner we can stop it from happening.
Nobody is holding a gun to their head saying "hey, marry this dickbag!" It's usually for social clout, i.e. he buys them things they can show off to their peers.
I'll give you one more chance to quit moving the goalposts.
In most of these situations, the abuser is putting on a face. This happened to me, so I speak from experience. I married a wonderful woman, and over time she became more controlling, snappier, wanted me to spend less and less time with my parents/siblings/friends until any mention of them made her angry, etc, etc... To the point that I was isolated completely with no support system when the violence started.
Point is, the person that becomes the abuser rarely shows their true colors until the victim is already heavily invested, especially when they're "trapped" with kids or other things.
