Parents constantly say "Do all this after you get married", like ur allowed to have a life only after marriage. Then the very next day they'll sarcastically say the opposite like, "Ya, ya, enjoy all this now only. Your in-laws' house won't be like this".

It's like an Indian woman's life is split into two stages: Before Marriage and After Marriage. Either way, both stages are a jail sentence. Before marriage your parents wanna control you. After marriage your husband's parents wanna control you. LET US LIVE, FFS.

It's like this: ANY thing we do in life is measured w how it'll affect The Marriage. For instance: That sarcastic comment above is what I got for, get this, ORDERING FROM MCDONALD'S. How did she manage to connect me ordering food to... marriage?! One that's IN THE DISTANT FUTURE?

Wanna travel? Wear make up? Stay out late? Wear clothes of your own choice? Hang out with friends? ORDER FOOD?
"After marriage "
WHY? Aren't ALL of those a part of... living? Why does a woman need to be tied to a man JUST TO LIVE? First to the father, then to the husband.
??!

And after you're married, do you at least get to do any of this? LMAO NOPE. Your mother-in-law will watch you like a hawk. Making sure that you're the perfectly obedient little servant that your parents promised them you'd be.

Come home late, even if it's from work? That's a strike against you. Order food? WHAT? With your husband's hard-earned money?! Strike. Sleeveless kurti? Shameless! Strike. Hanging out w friends? Lol what's that? Who'll look after the house? Strike. And travel? LMAO cute.

Fun fact: The marriage vows in my religious denomination requires both parties to make certain promises about this "equal" partnership. Man promises to 'take care' of his wife. Woman promises to... 'obey'.... her husband.
O B E Y
Equal. Partnership. My big fat ASS.

Often you'll come across married couples fighting. Both get angry. Both yell. But you'll only hear one of them yell, "Why can't you just OBEY me!"
No matter how much our dads insist that mom is final authority in the house... we all know who really owns control. :)

Sigh.
There's no specific point to this thread.
Just an unpolished rant.
I haven't said anything new. Nothing that hasn't already been said countless times.
Everyday someone comes on here to say FUCK PATRIARCHY.
Guess it was my turn today.
Oh, hey, there's that specific point.
