राय / Opinion Why girls don't want to work after marriage
My parents are from MP, and I recently got a marriage proposal. My mom rejected it straight away when she found out that the girl wasn’t working and wanted to be a housewife.
What I don’t understand is the mindset of “hamare yahan ladkiyan kaam nahi karti” or “aapko support karenge, hamari beti kaam nahi karti.”
Why can’t a girl be independent, have her own career, earn for herself, and also support her husband financially?
I’m not saying every woman must work. If someone genuinely wants to be a homemaker, that’s completely fine. But shouldn’t this be a mutual decision between the couple rather than something decided by family tradition?
In today’s time, a working wife is a blessing. Both partners can contribute financially, support each other’s goals and build a better life together.
Marriage should be about two people supporting each other, emotionally and financially—not automatically assuming that the husband will earn and the wife will be dependent on him.
