What are some common elements in Indian cheating stories?

One common type is academic cheating like copying in exams as I mentioned before. Another is fraud in business where false promises are made.

It's not a common occurrence. Indian marriages are often based on strong family and cultural ties. There are strict social norms and values that are instilled in people from a young age, which promote faithfulness in marriage. However, in a large and diverse society like India, there may be a few isolated cases, but these cannot be considered representative of the general population.

Often, in these stories, there is a theme of secrecy and betrayal. The stories might suggest that the wives are able to hide their affairs due to cultural norms that give them a certain amount of privacy within the family structure. However, this ignores the fact that most Indian families are very close - knit and such behavior would be highly frowned upon in the larger society. Also, some stories might play on the idea of arranged marriages and the supposed unhappiness that could lead to cheating, but arranged marriages also have a high success rate in India.

One common theme is often the clash between traditional family values and modern desires. The wife may feel restricted by the traditional roles assigned to her in the family and seek something more liberating, which could lead to inappropriate relationships. Another theme could be financial issues. If the husband is unable to provide a comfortable life and another man offers more, it might be a factor in a cheating story.

One common element is the presence of gods and goddesses. In many Indian stories, deities play important roles, either guiding the human characters or being part of the overarching plot. For instance, in the Mahabharata, Krishna is a central figure who gives counsel to the Pandavas.

One story could be about a woman who was married but became close to a co - worker during long hours at work. They started sharing secrets and eventually developed an emotional affair that led to suspicions of cheating from her husband.

Financial retaliation can also be common. For example, cutting off the wife's access to joint bank accounts or selling shared assets. This not only hits her financially but also shows that the husband is taking control after being betrayed.

One common element is the presence of deities. In many Indian sacrifice stories, the sacrifice is often made to please or appease a particular god or goddess. For example, in some stories, sacrifices are made to Indra, the god of thunder and rain, in the hope of a good harvest or victory in battle. Another element is the role of the priest or Brahmin. They are the ones who usually conduct the sacrifice, following strict religious rituals. Also, animals were sometimes used as sacrifices, which is a more controversial aspect but was a part of the traditional practices in some of these stories.

Often, there are elements of the afterlife and reincarnation in scary Indian stories. The idea that the dead can come back in some form to haunt the living is quite prevalent. Animals are sometimes used as symbols of the supernatural too. For instance, in some tales, a black dog might be seen as an omen of death or a spirit in disguise. And the power of mantras and spells is also a common element, as they can either protect from or unleash the scary entities in these stories.

Common elements often include the sudden disappearance of a person, usually in a remote or less - populated area. There might be a group of abductors involved, sometimes with a motive related to ransom, revenge or forced labor.
