Hi Anu Akka,
This is Nisha. I want to voice out regarding dressing before and after marriage.

I was married last year and have worked from home since last year.
Initially, days were going well. I used to wear a full covered nightdress. From the day of Marriage, my husband used to wear 1/2 shorts and roam everywhere in the house and even to theatres, malls, and even public transport. My FIL used to wear only lungi without any baniyan.

But when this summer started I was not able to bear the heat and started using 3/4th pants and long tops. For that my MIL came and said to me that girls should not show their legs outside, it’s a shame to our family. I was having my periods and was very uncomfortable wearing fully tight-covered dresses. She insisted to change it immediately without even asking my opinion. It was too rude and felt very bad for being a girl.

Before marriage, I used to comfortably wear shorts and I had full freedom to wear what was comfortable.

Please voice this out akka this has to change or else they will insist the same on my child.
