but widows/divorcees may think not to play... widows may b under depression. as they feel their color of life has gone for ever...
divorcees have their own depression seeing all these enjoyments... and their life gone ruined..
in short depends on personality mental take....
It all depends on the individual and the family members.
I belong to a Brahmin family. In this matter my family is quite broad minded . My maasi (mom's sister) is a widow. But my family never treats her differently, even in festival or functions. Even in my dad's side many single, divorced and widows are there. They are my sisters and aunts. As we all belong to same family, we treat them equally. Atleast in my family no white sarees, no fasting, no separate rules for them. Thank God for that 🙏
