In India, a girl is grown up always hearing the words that her parental house is never hers. She is the one to be gone after marriage. So never there is feeling of self belonging towards her parental home. Once she is married, she starts considering her husband’s house as hers. But again, here she is made to realize all the time that she has to watch her every step/action/word or else she would be thrown out or outcast from the home. Then how is she expected to consider her husband’s house as her own or people living there as hers when she herself is being considered as the one to be thrown out? Also after marriage, a girl is never expected to be back to her parental home. It is considered as shame for the family. At times, this is what results in suicide of a bride. It may be due to dowry issues or any other physical/mental torture she has been undergoing. So she neither belongs to the house/family where she was born in nor in the family where she is married off to. But let me remind you suicide is not the solution to this.
A woman in her lifetime has to take care of her three wealth.
- Education
- Self Respect
- Health
This can never be snatched by others. So always protect these and never ever lose these. They are our wealth as well as our beauty/treasure. If you don’t have any one of these, remember you will be treated worse than even a servant. Always stand up for yourself. Never expect anybody else to speak up for you. Always stay independent especially financial. Try to earn yourself, how much ever small it is.
