The Murder That Spoke in Ten Voices, We @ Outrageously Yours decoded each one. All outrageous. All systemic.
đ Everyone wants to punish Sonam Raghuvanshi. But what if sheâs not the diseaseâjust a symptom?
đ What if the real accused is the society that shaped her, trapped her, and finallyâtriggered her?
đ This isnât a defence of one woman. This is a charge sheet against the system.
đ This isnât a whodunnit. Itâs a whydunnit.
TEN DIFFERENT FACETS â TEN DIFFERENT VOICES
Weâve decoded ten voices behind this murder. Each voice reveals a deeper flawânot in Sonam, but in the world around her.
1. The Arranged Marriage Time Bomb
We still dress up control as tradition. "Choice" is just a word. When families force-fit two people into a photo-op marriage, somethingâs bound to blow.
This wasnât a murder. It was an escape.
2. Love as a Crime Blueprint
Affair. Betrayal. Planning. Murder. When love gets no legitimacy, it finds illegitimate exits. The crime triangle replaces the love triangle.
When society blocks love, it brews violence.
3. Life Is Cheap. Insurance Pays More.
âč50,000 was the alleged cost of a human life. Weâve monetized death. In a capitalist morality, even murder is an investment.
What she couldnât earn in life, she could gain in payout.
4. The Performance of Happiness
From vacation selfies to a body in a gorge. Social media creates the illusion of joy even as reality decomposes.
We curate smiles. We conceal screams.
5. The Court of Public Opinion
Before courts heard evidence, India heard outrage. Family, media, societyâall screamed: death penalty. No trial. No nuance.
When the mob is the judge, justice becomes vengeance.
6. Gender-Neutral Guilt
When a man kills, he's called a monster. When a woman kills, she becomes a headline. But crime knows no gender. Neither should our shock.
Evil is equal-opportunity.
7. Murder by Middle Class
This wasnât a gangster plot. It was middle-class, educated, transaction-based. It proves morality is not about class. Itâs about control.
A home loan, a honeymoon, a homicide.
8. Surveillance Kills Secrecy
CCTV, phone pings, digital trailsâher crime unravelled not by a witness, but by data. In todayâs world, every act is archived.
Privacy is dead. Crime is dying with it.
9. Patriarchyâs Last Trick: Forced Femininity
Raised to obey. Married to submit. Loved to stay quiet. When women break those scripts, society calls them dangerous.
She didnât snap. She rewrote the story.
10. A System That Raised the Weapon
Did Sonam raise the blade? Maybe. But who raised Sonam? Who gave her no room to fail, no right to choose, no space to be human?
Society pulls the trigger. Individuals take the blame.
CONCLUSION:
đ Maybe Sonam is guilty in law. But the culture that made her possible is guilty in truth.
đ And thatâs who should be on trial.
