When people take advantage of that phrase pati parameshwar without accepting the responsibilities that come with it then sounds like a bad word.

Absolutely right. The word cannot be used in a single context or out of context. Agree wholeheartedly

Oh okay! Haha.. I remember seeing glimpses of that horrible, horrible soap.

By the way, in my last post, I meant I don't 'watch' too many serials. By mistake I wrote, 'want'.

Honestly, if used jokingly its fine but in Indian society such words are often used to exert male dominance which is unethical according...

Yeah I know term ma devi is used in context of women but have you ever heard of a term "patnidevi"

Also, I think God's place is completely above a husbands. I love the dialogur from Mrityudand movie in which Madhuri says "aap hamare pati hain, parameshwar bane ki bhool na kijiye"😉

I also detest mangalsutras, sindur and karvachauth. If these symbols or rituals are to be there, they should be for both sexes not just for females...

There's a huge difference b/w culture and religion...culture is man made and needs to change in order to pave way for a just society.

Culture is man/human being made agreed.But it is put in place to bring in some sort of an order to a disorderly state.

The entire civilisation started with belief in god some form or other.

The only known force at the begining of civilisation and still is God.

Relationship with God is supposed to be sacred.

To emphasie the sanctity of marriage the phrase was instituted.

Just to tell human beings that marriage is something very sacred.

As I said before Pati parameshwar becomes meaning less if he only uses the power that comes with it to get what he wants from his wife.It assumes a totally different meaning whn the man uses it give everything in his power to make his wife and children happy.

To my understanding hinduism does compare the relationship between husband and wife to that of man and God.

I know for sure even Bible compares the relationship between man and god with that of man and wife.

Pati Parameshwar is not meant to deify men it is meant to deify marriage.

Mother is euivalent to devi ma - It is meant bring in sanctity to parent child relationship.

Older civilisations did not wear symbols of marriage.Only when women started going out of the house to earn they started wearing these symbols of marriage as protection against unwanted attentions.

The word PARAMESHWAR was used in olden times when woman were not independent and were dependent on man for financial needs. Then lack of education among women made MAN the Godly figure.

A few accepted facts are-Physically Men are stronger than women, Mentally both are equal,Emotionally women are stronger than men. How does society relate & use these facts in the institution of a family? Men were sent out to earn & feed, women were to stay back & support them emotionally in every case & in anycase the situation is more or less same today except at Mental level. where a woman's opinion was never asked before now even her opinions are respected.They are given equal education & opportunity to follow the career of their choice...(hopefully) which gives them financial independence & confidence. Awareness is much more than before.

My few years in God's own city Gurgaon showed me the reality of modern India. I had couple of friends & colleagues there who were pretty educated and from well to do families. I always had a difference of opinion with them... they thought that making your husband help you with your household is not good... My husband suggested me not to tell them that he helps me all the time with house hold chores...'coz they didn't get the whole point and they thought that I made him do chores all the time( made him kaam ki boojh ka maara). Some of them didn't let their son's do any work... I told them that so what he is your "son", why can't he help you clean the dishes and she is like "no yaar, i can't make him do that"... If she makes her daughter do that work, why can't her son do it...that is so absurd.. specially woman putting her leg on axe thingy. I fail to understand why these standard rules are different for girls and boys...maybe Indian girls have been programmed that way .

There are also some woman who does not want to be equal to men ..they just want to follow their man rather than walking together. it's its hard for me to figure out why?

When I was young ...I used to convince myself nothing will happen,world changes so fast,things will change & may be boys will have to leave their house & stay with in laws, bUT nOTHING cHANGED !!! Even today we don't like 'Gharjamai' n 'joru ka gulam'(definitions may vary !!) so to an extent we too like male dominance. 😉

Aparna, I get your POV...Parameshwar means ...WE love God and trust our husband😳.

But God's directive of mutual submission needs to be realized.This means that not only are we allowed to say "No," we are required to say "No" at times.😳

According to me a rapist will rape even if a woman is wearing mangalsutras and sindur. Had these symbols in any way protected women, all women today would adorn themselves with them instead of carrying pepper sprays...!!
