We celebrate BRIDES but not WIVES
We ask for wedding details, the dates, the location, guest list we look on as couples and their families spend exorbitant amounts of money on a half day event, as though a so called fairy tale is more likely to lead to a happily ever after. Why, I wondered then, and I wonder more acutely now, do people get so g****** kitty over weddings?

This was beautiful. The peace and the manner that is written is also amazing. It really makes me think how paternal and maternal leaves are placed, how men wearing child in a society seem, what marriage actually means for men and women, and the way you have asked those questions in the end, the answers of which we already know. But they also come with a sense of introspection within

And for so many women, or for most women, I would say, there is this constant in a battle that they go through to retain their own true identity after getting married, after becoming someone else's wife, or after becoming mothers, because as wise, they are expected to do so much. Once again, I'm not generalizing and seeing that in a lot of households, women are expected to completely even change their way of living after getting married, right?
