Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why are
India's housewives killing themselves?
An opposite
social phenomenon. While suicide rates for married people in western countries,
like the US and Australia, are lower than those who aren’t in the same age
group, the rates are higher in India. In fact, nearly 70% of the Indians who
committed suicide were married people. Furthermore, nearly 50% of those women
were housewives.
Does a
marriage do any good in India? Is being a housewife such a desperate task or
life there?
There seem to
be various aspects, backgrounds and situations to be looked at, such as
education, religion, social status, family size, arranged marriage and social
expectations that are particular in India.
Enjoy reading
and thinking of being a housewife or househusband in your society.
