What I could understand from what I read and analyzed in the book was that Rabindranath Tagore’s “punishment” comes from India, which means that the man has a lot to do with the woman, he has a lot of rights over her and her decisions. For example, the title says “punishment”, this refers to how women are oppressed by men, as from the moment a woman marries, according to society, the woman belongs to the woman in every sense of the word, something that is not true, without However, women who are mistreated by men punish them by speaking lies.
It refers to how they punished someone based on what the witnesses or accused could say about that person, only that was the only evidence and based on that they determined whether it was true or a lie, they did not look for more evidence. The police and the government did not have investigative methods to discover the truth and many times when you speak a lie it is more credible than the truth because the truth hurts or hurts and because of that people refuse to believe it.
