Sonali = I am not saying that an unmarried women should not have any rights over anything at all, I am an un married girl currently, but I also know my places in my fathers home. The day a family member brings in a daughter in law in the family, then that home mostly is her responsibility to run and take care of. Yes it would be find for Swamani to teach the new daughter in law, but in this case there are 2 other daughter in laws that can do that job. In the wedding Swammani not only picked the girl, the dress, the places, the invitations, the entertainment and even did the pre-wedding rituals that went along.
DUring the wedding she never felt bad for stepping and doing the things that should have been performed my Virens mother.
I also agree that respect is something you earn and not giving away, but I think that you also have to be open minded about things to where people will respect you. Maanvi;s grandmother is also with Maanvi, but she does in a loving way and she lets it go. Where was Swammani is very mean and hurtful with her words.
