I would say its not only daughter in law versus daughter treatment
Like in one of my auntys mayka, daughters were treated as second class and called outsiders by parents and brothers always on face. Even brothers wifes misbehaved with daughter and her kids in mayka if they went parent home. .
Even daughters kids were not treated properly if they went nana nani house. Like sons kids would get jam butter ghee not daughters kids
Compared to that son his wife and kids were treated royally by her parents
So i would never say all daughter in laws are treated bad but daughters great at parent home.
Because they consider daughter as paraya dhan so they will not spend much money on her education before and also treat her and her kids badly if she come to mayka
In india before especially previous generations its daughter who faced lot of discrimination and humilation compared to a bahu or sons wife
Because a son wife has to take care of in laws in old age she was treated very nicely by parents
Nowadays last 20-30 years the situation is changing, sons also leave house after marraige. Parents have to depend on daughters or son in laws many times for money or help in sickness. So in lat 20 to 30 years daughters are getting more respect by parents compared to before 1990s and 2000s.
No no, i wasn't referring to the Pakhi-Adhik episode.
I was referring to the way Barkha's character has shaped up.
The background mentioned is of college lovers who marry. Both from well-off background.
Kapadia's are shown as being progressive but failed to appreciate their own family members. Barkha has felt alienated.
Even Anuj's subtle warnings do not add up to his initial statements of how she was a buddy-Bhabhi.
That does not add up.
