Lawyer Schools Her Father, Tells Him Exactly What's Wrong With The Idea 'Get Married & Do Whatever You Like'
An advocate and Twitter user shares screenshots of her conversation with hr father where she schools him about having freedom to do anything regardless of marriage.
We can all agree that no matter how modern our families may be, there are some unsaid "rules" that showcase how patriarchy is still prevalent.
From household chores to taking care of the kids, it is still an unsaid ritual that it is supposed to be a woman's job among Indian families. Even when it comes to freedom, a woman is still supposed to change her surname after marriage no matter how successful she is.

After that, her father responded by saying that he too got his freedom only after marriage. After which she said that one doesn¡¯t have the right to snatch others¡¯ freedom. She further called it ¡°non-debatable¡± as liberty is a birthright that exists regardless of a person¡¯s marital status.
Her father then agreed.
Many people lauded this conversation and added how change begins at home.
I really like your spirit of raising voice against injustice of any kind. You just explained how injustice starts to take shape in the society from our very own house on some innocent level.

Choose a wise partner then. Only if you would like to marry and whenever you would like to.

They are maybe acting out of society pressure. And you know too how it is in the society. You know 'log kya kahenge or sochenge' is always in their minds.
