Relationship with in-laws: In Indian society, marriage is an important stage of life, in which families come together. Girls often start considering their in-laws as their home after marriage, but boys have to face a lot of difficulties in considering their in-laws as their home. Let's try to understand why this happens.
1. Rites and traditions
In Indian society, girls are prepared to adopt and play new roles after leaving their in-laws' house. Right from childhood they are taught that they have to follow the customs and traditions of their in-laws. On the contrary, boys are used to living in their parents' house. For them, moving to their in-laws' house means accepting a big change in their life, which can be challenging at times. The son-in-law (son-in-law) of the family is not looked upon favorably in the society.
2. Emotional connection
For girls, moving from their home to a new home is an emotional journey. They often try to connect with their husband's family and gradually start considering their in-laws as their home. On the other hand, boys keep their roots in their parents' house and consider their in-laws as separate. This is the reason why they are not able to form a deep emotional relationship with their in-laws.
3. Social expectations
In Indian society, there is pressure on boys to support their families and take care of their parents. Because of this, boys often stay away from their wife's family and feel uncomfortable accepting their in-laws. Whereas girls are expected to make their in-laws their home.
4. Time suspension
After marriage, girls have to spend their entire life in their in-laws' house and sometimes they even have to go to their parents' house, in such a situation the bride has no option but to accept the new house as her own. On the contrary, boys spend very little time in their in-laws' house. It is difficult for them to consider it as their home due to very little time spent there.
