When the Past Haunts the Present: Betrayal, Insecurity, and Control in Marriage

 Marriage is meant to be a space of trust and emotional safety. Yet, for some individuals, the shadows of past betrayal follow them into their present relationships—quietly shaping their behavior, fears, and expectations. In such cases, a husband’s insistence that his wife only go outside with his permission, and strictly in the company of himself or her brother, is not merely about control—it is often a reflection of unresolved emotional wounds.

 Abstract Sovereignty is one of the core principles of the modern international system and refers to the authority of a state to govern itself without external interference. However, in the contemporary era of globalization, economic interdependence, digital dominance, and geopolitical alliances, scholars increasingly debate whether powerful global actors can indirectly constrain the sovereignty of emerging nations.

Using India as a case study, the paper explores historical foundations of sovereignty, mechanisms of influence in the global order, and contemporary examples such as the Iran–Israel–United States conflict and the global oil and gas crisis. The study also evaluates India’s strategy of strategic auton...
