RAJA GIDH: BREAKING GENDER STEREOTYPES

Seduction by religious leaders and therapists, Peter Rutter propounds in his book, Sex in the Forbidden Zone: When Men in Power—Therapists, Doctors, Clergy, Teachers, and Others—Betray Women's Trust, is especially easy when a psychologically-vulnerable woman confuses her emerging passion for life with her passion for sex. He further admonishes that once a relationship has entered the forbidden zone, it is unlikely that it will ever become a sex-free relationship again. Marie M. Fortune has discussed and disseminated the affairs in a church where a minister (one may include some self-made Indian godmen too) who happened to be a charismatic, spiritual person, knew the evil art of manipulating the women into bed with him because they were under his spell as their minister. There were different situations that compelled women to gratify his sexual demands. Fortune talks about a woman in a vulnerable state because of the death of her husband who was seduced by the minister on the pretext that sex with him would be a part of the healing process. She describes that minister as a 74 romantic/sexual predator in her book, Is Nothing Sacred? When Sex Invades the Pastoral Relationship.
