An Indian minister found himself at the centre of a political storm, after a remark that wives lose their appeal with age triggered an outrage among women's groups who termed the comment "disgusting".
The "outrage" is hypocritical. The minister was insensitive to womens feelings even though he mentioned it was a joke. Now if you quote the bible which says that wives must obey their husbands or quote the koran which says that one man equals 3 women, these same outraged people will be quiet. Report Abuse
