Re: Girls in the west, after shaadi want to move out
let me guess... most men are for joint family system and all women are against it? this might be the rare occasion where one has to agree with the ladies. a joint family system is ridden with problems. my memory of a joint family house in the neighborhood back home is still clear in my mind. my parents ended up intervening to solve their household problems routinely. it was a big mess.
from the little i gathered was that a joint family system should be avoided at all costs especially for new couples. living under your parents umbrella where they pay all the bills, make all the choices for you... leaves a new couple with no room to grow.
