Acharya Prashant explains that the difference in a man's treatment of his daughter versus his wife stems from the nature of the relationship. While he may encourage his daughter's education and independence, he often restricts his wife due to a deep-seated sexual possessiveness and a fear of losing the object of his gratification. This urge for physical continuity and pleasure is so strong that it can even override basic survival instincts, leading to a cultural tendency to bind and control partners. He notes that this behavior is mutual, though men often have more power to enforce such restrictions. True freedom is difficult to grant when a relationship is based on dependency and self-interest.
