HENPECKED HUSBAND

                HENPECKED  HUSBAND
               XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   Why does the very name"Henpecked husband"evoke ridiculous retorts from men? Who is called as a henpecked husband? Why do the people giggle contemptuously on hearing the name of or coming across a henpecked husband?What are his characteristics?I opine that a henpecked husband is one who instead of governing or dominating his wife, is himself governed or dominated by her.Needless to say a henpecked husband usually dances attendance upon his spouse and always plays second fiddle to his wife in all family matters.He is a toady,yesman,obsequious to his dominating wife and totally remains under her thumb.She is enjoiner,he is obeyer.She speaks authoritatively,he hears humbly.
  A henpecked husband does not possess enough plucks and guts to flout the decisions or instructions of his wife.He carries out all her instructions faithfully and implicitly.It is noteworthy that he can not dare to eat or drink those very things which have been hemmed in by his wife.
 It is interesting to note that the friends and relatives of wife of a henpecked husband envy her for having got such a doting and duteous hubby.But he is looked low by the people and is mocked,sneered, jeered,ridiculed and made fun of.In a function,ceremony or get-together,he easily becomes a butt of butts,innuendoes,jokes anf filthy pokes.In between conversations,he is repeatedly dubbed as JORU KA GULAM."It is funny that a henpecked husband never likes to be called as such.
   I presume that more than 95% husbands belonging to high class society are henpecked husbands.I believe that majority of my married FB friends are hundred percent pure henpecked husbands.
