Finally! Documentary evidence that men are much more emotional than women. Australian economist Paul Frijters has put a price on happiness and sadness, according to gender. He has studied about 10,000 people since 2001 to arrive at a calculation that says: marriage is worth almost Rs 13.87 lakh to a man and a mere Rs 6.93 lakh to a woman. Divorce makes a man feel he has lost Rs 47.40 lakh, while women grieve only for Rs 3.85 lakh. Birth of a child gives a man Rs 13.87 lakh worth of happiness, while women only manage Rs 3.85 lakh. The death of a partner or child weighed Rs 2.6 crore for a man, but only Rs 56.22 lakh for women.  Still say ‘mard ko dard nahin hota?’
