Your only obligation is your liberation. These are just loveless social customs and economic structures where a woman is seen as a factor of production that produces babies. There’s no need to go to the husband’s place or even stay at your father’s if you are unloved and unwanted. The world is a vast opportunity. Live anywhere, stay anywhere, do whatever is the right work, and fly free—simple.

Questioner: Sir, I have had this question for a really long time. After being born and brought up in their parents’ home for nearly two and a half decades, one very fine day, Indian women, or women in general, have to leave their parents' home and are married off to start a new life from the scratch.
They are expected to make a new home with their in-laws, leaving their parents’ home, where the former are absolute strangers to her just before.
So, what is your opinion on this? Why do only women have to do this? Can there be any alternative to this practice which can be suitable for both men and women as well?
Acharya Prashant: It's a question actually that deserves a clap. So, just very recently, I suppose, two, three, four months back, I have answered this question. And every time I am posed this question, my response is immediately the same. “Why must you, as a woman, ask this question to anybody? It's your life, is it not?”
