Isn’t this what marriage is all about? Tuning to your partner’s way of life, without giving up your own and finding a way to laugh off a strange thing or two they might do in front of you.
The first thing to do is to make your partner understand that though you love him, you cannot stand the lack of boundaries between your private space as a couple and his mother.
SC Lets Go Of Rape Accused: “Remember, we will send you to jail if we find that your proposal to marry her is just a ploy to get rid of the criminal case against you,” said SC bench headed by CJI SA Bobde
Should marriage be about connecting two people by a thread of love or by chains of power? Then why should parents feel obliged to the man that agrees to marry their daughter?
After a few years of marriage, my mother developed OCD and depression. My father stood by her and helped her heal.
When a girl who has worked hard through her boards, her pre-entrance exams, her collage is ready to pursue higher education, her parents raise their hands and surrender. We don’t have money to educate you further, they tell her.
That a woman can wish for something other than a good marriage is still a hard idea for this society to digest.
My rightful place is at home with the parents I was born to, my uterus belongs to me so I can leave it empty for as long as I like.
Us women are conditioned to internalise the blame for anything that goes wrong, even if it affects our own well being, and that needs to change.
Why should I be forced to adjust in a marriage if I can live a healthy, complete and happy life on my own?
