Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the traditional practice of women leaving their parental homes after marriage to live with in-laws, questioning why women continue to accept this custom. He argues that there is no logical or divine reason for a woman to treat her own parents as strangers while suddenly adopting a new family and name. He explains that this practice is rooted in evolutionary biology and material economics, where women were historically viewed as factors of production for manpower. He asserts that a self-aware and self-respecting woman should not agree to such subservient arrangements, especially in an era where women are educated and legally protected.
