There will be anger and a strong quarrel: the wise Kama Sutra forbids a self-respecting woman to endure this behavior of a man

Presumably, the author of the Kama Sutra, the Indian philosopher Vatsyanna, created his cult work in the 3rd-4th centuries AD. At the end of the 19th century, the book was first translated from Sanskrit into English.

The most famous part of the treatise, as one might expect, was the most complete and detailed description of the “arts”, or positions of entering into an intimate relationship. But there are other chapters in the book – about love, about marriage, about how to deal with girls and how to organize a wedding.

Vatsyanna used her wisdom to comment on a variety of issues. And he spoke, including on such a topical subject as jealousy and rivalry. The Kama Sutra contains a direct indication of the strategy of behavior to choose for a self-respecting woman if the chosen one does not spare her feelings. Here is the unequivocal advice given by the ancient Indian philosopher:

“A woman should not tolerate the mention of a rival’s name, talking about her or a reservation of address, as well as the infidelity of a man.”

And indicates what should be done if any of the above events still occur. According to Vatsyanna, this is an occasion for a “strong quarrel”. A woman should cry, tear her hair, fall out of bed on the floor, throw flowers and jewelry.

And how does a man behave when all this happens? Extremely carefully! He should calm his girlfriend down with a loving talk, falling at her feet if possible. But do not expect an angry woman to soften – on the contrary, she is instructed to “uncover even more anger”, grab the cheater by the hair and even beat him a little.

After that, the philosopher advises the woman to go to the door and sit there, shedding tears. “But no matter how angry she is, don’t let her go any further, because it’s a mistake,” warns Vatsyanna.

Only by performing the ritual “I was very offended – I repent a lot”, can the couple take further steps towards reconciliation, and the man can draw conclusions and continue to keep the closed mouth and everything else in his pants.

As you can see, the ancient Indians did not welcome polyamory and left the woman with the sacred right to be the only one for the chosen one and to demand respect for her feelings. Even if it turned out to be quite exotic!
