A Padre in Kerala wants women who wear ‘men’s attire’ to be drowned in the sea.
In his appalling comment, he said women who choose to wear jeans, T-shirt, shirt - and all men's attire – and thereby ‘arouse men wearing by exposing themselves’ must be drowned in the sea with rocks tied to their bodies.
He said he feels like leaving prayer meetings in churches because of the women there who wear jeans, trousers, shirt or T-shirts; don’t tie their hand, and with a mobile phone in their hands, sure draw attention. “I don't know why these "things" come to the church,” he said. “I feel it's better to kick them out of the church premises”.
He said many boys have told him seeing these women, they slip into sin.
He declared that the best suited attire for women is 'churidaar', but these days, when Satan enters them, women throw away the 'dupatta'. They walk around without shawls."

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
