As it is I'm so dubli patli by indian standards. My MIL has also never really asked me to fast or do pati puja. Have never realLy felt the need to fast to prove my love & DEVOTION. But I'm ok with people who believe in these things but I think DIL shd not be foced to fast by MILs. One shd follow ones heart.
Forcing someone is definitely not a good idea till you have the shradhha..... what's the point after all you are fasting to please Gods and God knows in what circumstances one is keeping fast....
Anyways fasting for me is spiritual ...i mean i feel a bit closer to God that day and it gives me inner peace...So i fast for Karwachauth , Ahoi Ashtami for kids and other one's too...
