I'm born and raised in Canada. I am not married yet since I'm just 19 years old and I've got a long way to go to finish my education and have a career.

Angel11 - To be very honest, if a man like ASR were to drop from heaven even when i was a teenager, with hot looks and the attitude, I would run in the opposite direction.

That said, patriarchal societies like India always place a man's status above a woman's. Parochial upbringing, social conditioning, diffusion of responsibility have us believe that we must accept our husbands and their families just as they are and that spousal neglect is justified because others do the same thing around us.

Bottomline, if you are unhappy in your marriage, east or west, talk to your spouse and let them know. If spouses are considerate human beings, they will show the willingness to change. If they don't despite many attempts, its time to admit that maybe that marriage is one-sided and failed.

Such marriages don't last in India because everyone is happy. Such marriages last because one or or the other has killed toned down their discontent and decided to compromise, thereafter, living in constant regret.

Now, you can call me a Firangi with Lofty Ideas that don't apply to Indians. That myth can be busted with this - Every generation, even in India, has an example of a good and a bad marriage. My In-Laws marriage is PERFECT, I've never seen a couple so much in love, even at 77 and 72. While my own cousins marriage, who is merely 35 is a massive failure.

It does not matter where I live but I am an Indian by birth and will always remain an Indian at heart.
Thanks to God, I am blessed with a husband maybe better than ASR in certain ways. We have had our fair share of ups and downs in life..bu then, looking back at these 20 years we have spent together, me or him, we wouldn't want to change anything. We have grown stronger, wiser and happier over the years.
When you ask this question about all hubby's being like ASR, I have a small question in return..how many wives are like Khushi? All forgiving and all accepting?
I just want to say this... for any success or failure of any relationship, both involved parties have equal responsibility. Only when both hands come together can there be thunderous Clap?

Yes, I have seen my Dadi taunt my mother on quite a lot of occasions - but my father has always stood for her right when things have gotten out of hand :)
In fact sometimes Dad gets angry if my brother or I hurt my mother too badly with our actions or words.

And so in the future, I would expect no less from my husband. If he can stand up for me, stand up for my values and my thoughts - then I would respect him and his family as well.

PS: I didn't know there was such a thing as an abnormal married woman



LOL sorry for the funny use of the word normal. By normal what i meant was a working woman in a middle class family 😃

But dear the sad truth here in India is that wives r expected 2 b forgiving & accepting. Our neighbor who is also a widow had 2 daughters & 1 son. The eldest daughter's marriage failed & she came back 2 mayke with a 1 yr baby girl. Next the 2nd daughter also got married & then finally they started searching 4 an alliance for the youngest son. Many families were reluctant due to the elder daughter being at mayke with a kid. So the family spoke 2 her hubby & parents & literally pushed her back into her sasural. I was just wondering how much it must ve hurt that woman to go back to the same house where the ppl insulted & emotionally tortured her for many yrs before her delivery. Now her in-laws r dead, her nanad is married & now her hubby is slightly better. But that didi is now over 40. Now tell me who ll give back all those lost years to her. BTW she was an MTECH grad working as a HOD in a top engineering college 😕

Again in my own office which is 1 of the biggest IT co in India i ve seen many stories like that, some with my own friends. My inlaws still dont consider me an ideal bahu & wife since i work & am a manager of a big team. Acc 2 them i must stay at home & take care of my hubby & kid. Sometimes even my hubby gets swayed away by his mom though he has become better aft the kid.

Anyway i am glad that at least many ppl in this forum ve been blessed with understanding hubby & in-laws. But what saddens me is that this is minority & in India women r still treated worse than dirt by her in-laws & hubby, sometimes even by their own grown-up sons.

Thanks a lot to all those who responded & do continue to pour in ur thoughts. I hope that at least we raise our kids in a such manner that they break all this social norms & make this society a better place at least for the future girl children.

That way we women ve a vital role to play as a mother!

I do not wish to be judgemental and analyse the cases you have mentioned..but from my experience in life, I have learnt that every story has two sides to it.
I feel, whatever has been the past, things are slowly changing in Indian society too. Women will get all the importance they demand only when they realize their own worth and start seeking the respect they deserve. With increased education I hope eventually women will carve their own destiny.
But do let me tell you, it not only in India that women are treated the way they are. Grass is greener on the other side of the fence. That's all.
We need to realise that most of the time, its not men who are responsible for the misfortunate state of women.(Not that men can be ruled out of any misdoings). It is women who are the worst enemies of other women.
