A Bengaluru man was fined ₹5,000 for hosting women overnight, sparking backlash over gender-based housing rules.
A Bengaluru resident says he and his flatmate were fined ₹5,000 by their housing society for allowing two women to stay overnight, citing a rule that bans bachelors from having female guests overnight while families face no such restriction despite paying equal maintenance fees.
The incident, which occurred on October 31, 2025, sparked online outrage, with many calling the policy discriminatory and outdated.
The man, who shared a screenshot of the invoice dated November 1, criticized the lack of prior warning and questioned the rule’s legality.
While some suggested legal action, others advised leaving the society due to the impracticality of challenging the rule.
