Acharya Prashant begins by explaining the difference between 'Dharma' (righteousness) and 'pratha/parampara' (custom/tradition), emphasizing that one must learn to distinguish between the two. He states that it is a religious (dharmik) matter for a daughter to achieve upliftment in life, and this is an eternal (sanatan) principle that can never change. In contrast, the practice of marrying off a daughter and sending her to her in-laws' house is a traditional (paramparik) matter. These two concepts are different and should not be conflated. The traditional practice can and should be changed if necessary. The speaker elaborates that the tradition of a daughter leaving her home is not exclusive to any single religion but is a product of a universal human tendency to seek self-interest, rooted in an illusory (mayavi) mindset. Historically, this tradition had an economic basis. In ancient times, when the economy depended on physical strength, the man was the primary earner. It was practical for the woman to move to his place, as moving the earner would disrupt the family's livelihood. However, the factors of production have changed significantly. Today, this tradition is merely an outdated remnant. It can even be a net loss for a couple if the woman has to leave her job to relocate. Acharya Prashant suggests that in the modern context, it is not essential for a married couple to live in the same house. He highlights the importance of personal space, both internally and externally. He argues that since one must die alone, one should also be capable of living alone. Relationships should be about maintaining sweetness, not a 24/7 obligation that often leads to conflict. He humorously remarks that living apart can lead to more peace. He also points out that the feeling of a daughter being a stranger in her own home is often exacerbated by the dowry system, which makes her feel she has already received her share of the family's wealth. He strongly condemns the practice of dowry, calling it an insult and questioning the hypocrisy where a woman taking money is stigmatized, but a man taking dowry is celebrated as a groom. He advises parents not to pressure their daughters into marriage, stating that it is her good fortune if she chooses not to marry. If she does get married, she should not be disowned. Her room in her parental home should remain hers, and she should always be welcome. He concludes by saying that a son-in-law should be someone with whom the family can have a joyful relationship, and there should be no outdated restrictions like not being able to stay at the daughter's house.
