The red letter day

June - 2019- I discovered an irony in this great country. In the so called male dominated society, there are no rules for men! Rules have only been created for women whether it is domestic violence or dowry. There are no rules for men at all! As if men are not human but devils who deserve to be punished even when innocent!

The mother-in-law factor that acts as a catalyst in destruction of today's marriages!

The girl's mother-in-law said, 'A son will carry the family name forward.' The father-in-law was reading the newspaper and nodded his head. He loved daughters but had no say. The boy's mother-in-law said, 'you take all the money from your husband.' The girl who was listening to her agreed. She didn't want to disappoint her mother. The girl's mother-in-law said, 'you don't listen to your wife or I will not talk to you.' The boy agreed since he did not want his mother to feel bad. The boy's mother-in-law said, 'don't let your husband listen to his mother.' The girl agreed.She wanted to be the perfect daughter for her mother.

I am advised to keep my wallet and heart open always, I am told to agree with my wife, no matter what she says. My mother moved to a different place as she was advised by neighbors and friends, They told her 498A and domestic violence are the new ways of earning money as the twitter hashtag trends, Its not that I did not know my wife from before, We were in a live-in for the last one year and we were sharing every chore. But today, things have taken a 180 degree turn, My wife tells me to make tea and shouts at me if the chapatis burn.
