AB Sr's precondition:‘Definitely don’t want a wife who will work 9-5’ - Page 7

So well said. It is a scam really. Marriage is totally patriarchal institution with total enslavement of woman and only asking her to compromise or change her name or leave her former identity, parents, name, hometown etc and adjust and compromise or tolerate or call her parayi for natal family aftet marriage. While man is never asked to do anything nor loses anything. Man only gains additionally in marriage and easily neglects home and does no emotional labour either while woman is told to do everything from handling home, in laws, guests, kids to working around whims and tempers of husband.

I wonder what contribution or sacrifice a man makes in marriage?

Thanks to marriage, birth of girl child is seen as burden or she is seen as paraya dhan or is brainwashed and bullied since childhood to adjust or not have any goals, dreams or ambitions or voice of own and only learn household skills and get married soon and never come back to parents nor share 'ghar ki baat' with parents.

It is also patriarchal pressure and trick to stigmatise divorce or being single by choice, to pressurise women into marriage or else isolate her socially.

I wish more singles were encouraged since there are indeed lot of people who never wanted to get married at all and had other ambitions in life. Or atleast excessive hyping or marketing of marriage was stopped.

Families also need to be redefined. Why only husband and wife are family? Siblings together, cousins, adopted kids or like minded friends and people living together or in same building, widow, widower, nephews, nieces, pets etc are all family. Who needs only sexual or biological relations to define a family?

AB Sr looks like typical UP walah bhaiya thoughts(hes from UP no) who himself having affairs with heroines after marriage but wife should not work

Its tough for women to live aone in india because men think shes avialable as shes not married to anyone. Apology for words used but thats the truth. If you are married men never dare misbehave with you but unmarried they tend to misbehave with woman everywhere.

Second parents and siblings only ill treat single woman. I have seen single woman in few family. Parents and siblings abuse them although they are finnacially independent. Male siblings and their wives trouble single girl taunt and spread falls rumors on her character etc with relatives so no one help her. Parents also keep quiet as they do not want THE son relationship to spol with them after all economically or otherwise indian parents prefer son than daughter. Brothers are scared if woman does not marry or becomes divorcee parent share of property will be given to her. Single woman after certain age are targetted in office too by male boss or employees in india mostly.

A single or divorce girl living with a parent or sibling n home has tough life although she may be earning because shes abused and taunted every day for everything.

And they ask me why my philosophy is this

I know there was lot of drama over property of Kaka with Dimple and daughters on one side and the live in partner on other.

I have not followed it up enough to know who got property and who did he leave it to or not.

Neither dimple nor live in partner - I think both daughters got it,

But the fact is she did do lot of movies in the initial years after marriage. Maybe she had signed them or started shooting for those movies before marriage....she reduced work after her 2 kids were born. Till 1975 she was doing more than 2 movies.

Amitabh asked her to reduce work but she didn't so he got her pregnant twice within the first 3 years of their marriage and she had to automatically reduce her work. 🙄

@bold — this is the most interesting post so far.

So spill the beans. Did he tell you this secret that he got Jaya pregnant for the 2nd time so she would reduce work? How did he do that without Jaya knowing that they as a couple are conceiving? Did he replace her birth control pills? I am curious. This is a juicy piece hidden from the world for so long.

Haven't read single post but how is this topic on page 9 😆

This is true. Too much glorification of marriage and motherhood in India and utter stigma against women whi are not attached to a man. Single, unmarried by choice women are looked down upon or face character assassination even if they are educated or independent and are mocked for career achievements too or have people making slanderous rumours or assumptions about her health, attitude, mental health or character. Widows and divorced women are also looked down upon. Women who do not want to marry are bashed or told they will be burden on parents or brother or due to them their siblings will find it hard to get married or they will be disgrace to family or society or land up alone.

Yes specially for showbiz where men touches and romances women (professionally though) it was some half century ago.

And both were from orthodox families.

Even Akshay stopped Twinkle even post 2000s.

He put that condition on Raveena as well as she openly stated that being a blunt person.

Why don't you ask the TM who keeps making such posts every now and then on how Amitabh never let Jaya work after marriage? 😂 Everytime she makes posts like these I keep telling her that Jaya did lot of movies after marriage too and reduced her work only in the late 70s and early 80s.

Whatever I wrote was a sarcastic post which you didn't understand. 🤪 I don't go around in the forum trying to portray the Bachchans as evil people or Aishwarya as bechari dukhyaari bahu. 🤣
