A few important lessons stand out

1. Gaps between social practice and legal protectionSome traditions or practices can become harmful when misused. These cases show how vulnerable people — especially women — may need stronger awareness of their legal rights and access to protection.2. Importance of consent and dignityAny relationship or social custom must respect personal consent, safety, and dignity. When pressure or coercion appears, it becomes a human-rights issue, not just a cultural matter.3. Role of law and awarenessMany people may not know what protections the law offers or how to seek help. Education and awareness can reduce exploitation and encourage safer reporting systems.4. Media vs. official dataWe also learn to be careful about interpreting media reports. Individual stories raise awareness, but they don’t always represent full statistics. Good decisions require reliable data and critical thinking.5. Need for balanced discussionSensitive topics should be discussed respectfully, focusing on human welfare rather than blaming communities. Constructive dialogue helps improve systems without increasing social division.
