In India, the status of women is very low, which is reflected in the fact that women have to provide a lot of dowry when they get married, and men whose sons are the other side of the marriage don't need to prepare bride price at all. This is also reflected in the fact that most of the dirty work in India is women, and men don't have to do any work. In a word, the customs and habits of Indian marriage largely reflect the low status of Indian women.
First of all, India, as a super agricultural country, is very similar to our ancient society in China, which means that the labor force that women can provide is far less than that of men, and then the status of men in the family is improved step by step. Because they are not only responsible for carrying on the family line, but also the main labor force, the status of women is inferior to that of men.
Secondly, the birth rate of baby girls in India is very high, and even statistics show that the birth rate of baby girls is much higher than that of male babies, which is also their idea that sons are more precious than daughters. Therefore, in India, once a wife is pregnant, her husband's family will force her to go to the hospital for a baby sex check. If it is found to be a baby girl, it may even be shed, and if the first child gives birth to a daughter, then they will inevitably continue to give birth until they give birth to a son.
Third, the caste system has caused the fact that women's marriage choices are smaller. That is to say, men can marry women with lower status than him, but women can only choose men with higher status than him, or men with equal status. Moreover, in India, men can get a lot of property if they don't marry a wife. It can be said that a son is a daughter who earns income for the family, but it becomes a burden for the family. Over time, women.
Fourth, we all know that India is a country with a particularly developed religion, and the education of some religions also directly affects the status of women. In many religions in India, there will be a phenomenon of reproductive worship. They think that women are only half-length from men's bodies. In Indian religions, this phenomenon of reproductive worship directly leads to women's discrimination against social reality.
In recent years, Indian officials and some elites have realized the backwardness of this concept and are trying to change it, and it has indeed played a certain role in society. However, this deep-rooted concept cannot be changed overnight. In modern India, the status of women is still very low. As long as a husband wants to remarry a beautiful and rich wife, he can even kill his wife and rent a wife through precise planning.
As women, whether they are molested on the bus or scolded by their husbands at home, they can only choose to endure silently. It can be said that they are born unequal in India, so it is a burden that every Indian man may face to spend a lot of money to marry his daughter.
