I understand what you are saying. But there is no way I would lose my identity just because I got married. And why would I get married and not eat with my husband. All of the points I have made are not improper. Or just because someone does that, does not mean they are being disrespectful. Why are the girls being conditioned to behave in such a manner. In fact, I would say, that, that is being disrespectful. When one thinks they are better than others, and their thoughts and ideas are not important. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that that is discrimination and perhaps bullying in it's purest form!! And yeah, I guess that's what Chhan Chhan is trying to show.

I get your pt. ... I too come from a free thinking open minded family and now live with my husband where we both do what we wish to do ...so all's good . What I was trying to say is that the above is also a reality ...its not a distant thing which happens in villages etc , i have seen it in my extended family.
You are right , it is discrimination ...

Hell are u freaking serious? i just might kill them all while they r sleeping if half this is forced on me by inlaws!!😆 what is even the use of living like this? 😲 i mean why bother marrying?

@Vittoria- i seriously wanted to make this topic too!! good u made it! for me too it seems utterly ridiculous! my mom will go anytime she pleases to my nani's place..n sometimes we r not even aware she has gone there in the morning when all of us r out for school/uni/office..its just freaking stupid and cruel if this is true!! 😡

I have one question, I can understand that it might be happening in villages or small towns but here the Borisagar's live in a big city and they are all educated, including the bhabhis. Considering that, isn't it a little strange what's happening in the Borisagar household? 😕

The older generation may hold such views, since they are very conservative but younger generation seems to be quite unaware of their rights.

So,
  • can't go out
  • can't go for honeymoon
  • can't have friends over
  • can't wear clothes that you want
  • can't eat with your hubby
  • can't talk unless given permission
  • be subservient to MIL and hubby and his family
  • can't breathe unless MIL says so
  • have no jovial interactions with family just for the sake of
  • take permission from mommy dearest in spite of being an adult (pls don't use the respect angle here, irrelevant)
  • ...
Is this what being married (in India) means??

I'm pretty sure this is an extreme case and things like these do not exist anymore???
Please enlighten me!

Agree with whatever u say..in india still at few households people are sceptical inb allowing their dil to be free bird after marriage..thy have their pown reasons...and u cant really dop anything..atlleast nw things are changing as we find couples staying all alone..

when you live in joint and conservative families, its common
i think it also depends on the environment and country you are living
in sub continent these things matter

but i know chan willl sort...and to say all the ladies in real life willl not be like chan chan right???
