Equality does not exist in a marriage, specially in India. There is only quality that matters in India in marriage and the quality is only restricted to woman. They have been asked about the quality of the color of their skin, the height, dowry and how much household chores they can do without any complaints. Time and again women are being suppressed in marriages and nobody has ever stood against these things. Sacrifices and compromise in a marriage should only be from woman’s side and not from men. For any team work, both the individuals involved should be walking towards the goal equally be it time, compromise,sacrifice and efforts.
Marriage is bee practicing over the years successfully, most of the credit only goes to the women to make marriage work. Equality was never a concern earlier because women were being suppressed due to the societal norms.
As we are moving in an ultra modern society, which now promotes the live in relationship and the concept of marriage is fading away. Live in relationships promotes equality and it is been successful for most of the couples.
Equality is not something to ask for but it is the basic right of every woman but unfortunately women are being suppressed over the societal norms.
