Netizens slam husband for letting young wife to donate liver for husband's'Maasi'

Initially, people were seen echoing their voices to say Kamath's death was not only saddening, but the entire process of her being chosen as the liver donor was "Totally Unfair."

"What type of the husband and family they were.. such a young lady was made to give liver to 65 yrs MIL ‘s sister.. why she was not convinced to not to give since she had small kid.. selfish family," a person named Prathiba Suresh posted, taking a dig at the incident. "No surgery comes without a risk. Her husband might marry and find a companion but the child wont have a mother," another X user, Shiva Mudgil, wrote.

Maheen Ghani, a Psychotherapist whom for spreading awareness on mental health and women empowerment, also reacted to the 33-year-old's post-donation death. She too slammed the family by saying, "This is horrifying, the endless unrealistic expectations from women. Why would a 33 year old even be expected to donate a part of her liver to her significantly older mother in law. Now a child is left motherless because his mother had to be the societal “sacrificial bahu”. It’s criminal- This culture has to change."

Few users support deceased woman's family

Soon, a set of people condemned such reactions projecting the surviving family of the woman in a bad light.

"The replies under this is really sick. They are blaming her husband and abusing him without knowing the matter. Those who are from Mangalore know it . Poor husband is getting all kinds of abuse for no reason. Guys respect the deceased," an X user named Ganesh replied.

Another person identified as Gautham Pai told netizens he personally knew the deceased woman, and wrote, "I knew Archana personally, she was a very nice and kind person. I am deeply saddened by the fact that I will never get to talk to her again. God bless her soul. Om shanti."
