Hi Anu akka… My questions may look weird. But these are some questions/impositions happening in India to its women population that always bothers me

  1. Why a female child should leave her home and move to her husband’s place and consider her husband’s home as her own? Why does not it apply to the male child also?
  2. Why is it that a female child need not take care of his parents financially and the only male child is responsible for that? Does the female child not considered as her parent’s child after she gets married?
  3. Why are there so many impositions on a woman in the name of marriage and tradition?
  4. Why should a female change her surname after marriage and not men?
  5. Why should a female in most households need permission to visit her own parents?
  6. Many females are blamed for choosing a neutral family for separating a male child from their parents and it is tradition to separate the female child from her root.
  7. Why the credit for all financial growth and progress are given to the husband of the family when the wife plays an equivalent or sometimes better role in contributing to the growth?
  8. Why the hard work or contribution or growth of a couple is considered part of the man’s family and why not the woman’s family not given equivalent rights even when a woman is equally potential and earning?
  9. Why cooking is considered as a female role and a woman is expected to cook and take care of her in-laws from the next day of marriage while a man can enjoy freedom and hospitality both in his home and his in-law’s home?

To conclude, why are men considered as the superior part of the family when the fact is both men and women play an equal role?
