I just want to know all your thoughts on the the way the women in our epics or at that time used to call their husbands like Draupadi used to call her husbands either Arya or by their other name.Even now some women call their husband in this way and they get the label of being backward.What do u all this is it regressive for women as the media and movies show?

Panchali calls all Pandavas by name many times in text. Only TV shows have otherwise.
I guess even today many women don't call their husbands by names. That's personal choice not anything regressive if you ask me
Yes u are right its their personal choice.But women in olden times did use to say their husbands name indirectly.Was this thing in manu smriti?And if not then where did this come from and is this rule (whoever made this) regressive?Originally posted by: FlauntPessimismI guess even today many women don't call their husbands by names.

Yes in the text she didn't call Pandavas Arya or something but she also didn't directly call them like whenever she talked to yudhishthir she called him dharamraj or something else but never Yudhishthir.Originally posted by: HearMeRoar

I have heard that by if wife call her usband name then husband ki age decrease hoti hai
Don't know how much it is practically true
But in my personal view bhrama ji ne jitna aayu kisi ki likh diya at that time of birth then woh aayu na ghat sakti hai aur na bhad sakti hai
Some time draupdi use to call to yudhistar by these name
1o king
2 O bharat
Don't know whether she is use to call yudhistar as swami or nath
Yes in the serials they show Panchali calling Pandavas Arya but in the text she didn't but at the same time didn't call him by his real name.In the same way sitaji too called ramji Raghav or something else but never ram in VR.Originally posted by: surabhi01Some time draupdi use to call to yudhistar by these name

In public, both husband and wife was addressed by their formal patronym.
Sita would call Rama as Raghava. While Rama would call her Vaidehi/Janaki. This rule was for everyone not just husband and wife. In public every one was addressed formally to show respect.
Yudhishtir and his brothers would be addressed as Pandava or Bharatha or Partha. Krishna would be addressed as Draupadi
However for women since they left their maternal home and entered a new kingdom post marriage, they would also be sometimes formally addressed by name of the kingdom they came from
Kousalya from Kosala, Kaikeyi from kekeya. Gandhari's from Gandhar and Krishna as Panchali
In private conversations given names were used. By both husbands and wives.

She does call him Yudhishtira.
She does call all of them by given names.
I've actually yet to see a spot where she calls them Arya or Swami or Nath 😆
