During Sindoor Dan Vashist tells that the place where sindoor is placed is very delicate for women and Sindoor protects that part.
What I felt in that sentence was the fact that when loved and respected a woman is always a nurturer. She is a protective force. Shanta, Gowri, Parvati, Lakshmi, Saraswati all these Goddess have serenity in them as the primary quality. A pleasant loving woman manages her family,creates positive environment at home and does everything that is beneficial to the society.
A man by placing the sindoor on a woman's mang is telling that he will ensure she will always remain the protective force in the family and in no way in his best ability he will bring a situation where she has to be a destructive force.
Sindoor is seen as a tear jerker in teleserials. The big sindoor in leading lady's maang that much tears she will have. It is treated as another form of Subjudication along with Mangalsutra.
But it is again a man's promise of ensuring that feminity within a woman is never compromised. So if he doesn't love and respect her obviously the delicate woman will disappear. Instead of Gowri you will get Kali who will go rampaging the family and society for disrespecting her.
So if a man expects woman to be protective force, he has to take accountability, he has to take actions at the right time to safeguard the respect of his wife at the right time, he has to love her, respect her for the contribution she is making to family. Then just like the sindoor protecting her delicate part, she will remain delicate, loving to the man who is protecting her.
