Four men have been arrested in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh (a central Indian state) after a video went viral showing a 28-year-old woman being forced to carry her husband on her shoulders around a village while having her hair cut as punishment. The incident occurred in Balawas village, and police acted after the footage spread online on April 13, prompting officers to locate both the victim and the accused. The arrests, made on April 14, highlight ongoing concerns about gender-based violence and public humiliation used as a tool of domestic control in rural India.
