Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Women lead Indian families as men migrate
More than half a century ago, India was one of the first countries in the world to elect a woman as prime minister, and the country currently has several highly influential women politicians. However, in domestic settings, Indians tend to say men should have more prominent roles than women. About nine-in-ten Indians agree with the notion that a wife must always obey her husband. Since ancient times, with few exceptions, the status of women in Indian society has always been inferior. Even now, most societies in India are still influenced by the patriarchal system, partly because many women had been less educated than their husbands until recently. But things have been changing as more women become responsible for their households as they become financially and domestically influential while their husbands migrated to other places for jobs. Here is an example of a woman who married at the age of 15, had been a typical domestic wife, but became independent, confident, and responsible for her family.
Enjoy reading how some of India’s domestic wives have been changing.
