I have always maintained the importance of financial independence for women despite investing hours of unpaid manual labour keeping households. Every woman, irrespective of familial ties, should have access and control over her own money. If she wishes to spend more on just a single pair of bangles, it should be her choice. Managing financing expectations should never lie with only one person in the family.
Dhara Isn’t a blood relative and The birth mother of Rishita. Even if it was my parents, as an adult, I feel very awkward asking them for money. The complete control of one woman over money is a foolish track. One might want to spend more money for any trivial need. A single woman cannot command everything in the house.
These girls deserve more than playing second fiddles to Dhara.
