Investment in daughter, profit or loss account?
I know many will be shocked to see this headline of mine. Be surprised. Feminists, in particular, may be wondering if women are the product that has to be accounted for or lost.
Still, I want to continue today's discussion along the lines of this calculation. We write the rules on International Women's Day. I write about traditional women's empowerment, women's freedom, etc. Why? Because we want women to get their due place in society. Let them get recognition for their qualifications. Establishing women's rights to the property is directly related to women's financial independence. Recently, the issue of property rights of Hindu women has also come up for discussion. In other words, the calculation of women's rights is seeing the light of day.
One thing that has become very clear is that the progress that women have made in our country has not been able to bring about a complete change of mood. The conventional attitude towards women has not changed much.
Now let's come to the main discussion. Are we clear about the reason behind the difference between sons and daughters in society? Because there was a time when women were the winners. They were in the driving seat. All decisions are made by women. So how did the men slowly take over that place?
I'm not going into that academic discussion. However, with the change of era, the issue of occupation in the economy has come to the fore and women are not there. Men have usurped all their power. Women became a dependent group. But the story of this backwardness of women is also clear in the history of the introduction of the family system. Society values those who have power. Who can give something to another? No one cares about a dependent person. And this is the reason why there is a difference between a boy and a girl in the family.
Due to historical reasons, women have become close to others. Even though it sounds bad, the family does not stand by the helpless. If he brings another, he will eat, wear and learn. Our families think that the boy is the light of his family. If he spends on her, he will take care of the family at some point. Take the helm. Parents think that when they grow up, their only son will take care of them.
The girls are the guests for two days. This is the rule that they will move to the next house and there is no historical basis to hope that he will be able to take care of the family from there. These settlements divide our families.
The son is given a fish head, a large piece. Chicken runs are made for them. This means that the nutrition of food is only needed for the son. But these thoughts did not come just like that. It is from him that the investment idea and the expectation of his return at some stage of life come from him.
That is, it is better to invest less where there is no profit. I have learned from my personal experience that my parents gave birth to me in the hope of having a son and my experience with this is by no means pleasant. Many parents have children every year for the sake of having only one son. Multiple marriages occur.
Such a picture has changed a bit but it has come to be city-centered. In remote areas, girls are still seen as a burden to the family. Proof of this is the increase in the rate of child marriage during the Corona period. The declining rate of girls going to school.
One thing that has become very clear is that the progress made by women in our country has not brought about a complete change of mood. The conventional attitude towards women has not changed much. When the family sends their daughter out for higher education or work, the issue of financial accounting is also left behind.
The idea that if the girl earns, she can give something to the family is still strong. As a working woman, I often hear that women are not suitable for big positions. Women and men are still differentiated according to the type of work. However, some acknowledge that women are patient. Among them, honesty is more than men. They can work in the cold head and they are devoted.
I want to take this talk in a positive sense. In the real world, women are still struggling to make ends meet. He has to prove all the opportunities he gets there.
No one gives in to hardship. It is true that women are responsible. Girls are at the forefront when it comes to taking on parental responsibilities in a family. They may not be able to afford it, but they never give up on their parents. So far no instance has been created where a girl has denied her parents for the property. But there are many such examples in the case of men.
