When Superstitious Beliefs Cause Original Harm
Briefly

Superstitions often drive individuals to engage in rituals believed to rectify personal issues, as seen in a case where a woman was forced into a degrading act for potential conception. Spiritual healers or occultists may promote ingenious practices that lead to negative outcomes. Despite legal restrictions against black magic in Maharashtra, many continue to engage in such practices, driven by belief or desire for personal gain. The impact of superstitious beliefs can escalate into harmful situations, as demonstrated by instances of financial fraud intertwined with ritualistic elements.
The intent behind superstitious rituals often comes from a desire for control, but such actions can lead to severe personal and societal consequences. These consequences highlight how blind faith in spiritual solutions can morph into exploitation and harm.
Cases where individuals are coerced into engaging in dangerous or humiliating rituals for the sake of child conception reflect the serious implications of belief in superstitions tied to black magic.
